If you’ve been on the fence about moving to Panama because of concerns about healthcare coverage, let me be the first to tell you--that obstacle just disappeared.
As of August 1, your U.S. insurance may now be accepted directly at clinics and hospitals across Panama. That means no prepaying, no reimbursement drama, no insurance red tape.
Thanks to a new partnership between MiniMed (Panama’s largest private medical network) and Lakeside Medical Group (a managed-care billing service that specializes in U.S. insurance), you can now receive care at any of MiniMed’s 14 clinics—or their full-service hospital in Panama City--without opening your wallet.
Here’s how this benefits YOU:
No more “what ifs” about healthcareYou no longer have to worry about what happens if you get sick or injured in Panama. As long as you pre-register, MiniMed will handle all the billing directly with your insurance provider. That means you don’t pay upfront and you don’t chase reimbursements.
Registration is free and easy. Just sign up here:
👉 lakemedicalgroup.com/application
You’ll receive some quick documents to sign electronically, and then you’re ready to go.
Important: You must pre-register through the link above. You cannot do it at a MiniMed location.
This is a game-changer for expatsThis partnership removes one of the biggest hurdles that holds people back from relocating to Panama. You now have access to quality healthcare, covered by the insurance you already have in the U.S.
If you’ve been holding back because of healthcare uncertainty—consider that concern handled.
