Healthcare in Argentina: A Guide for Expats & Retirees

Argentina's healthcare system is world-class and affordable. Learn about public vs. private care and the best prepaga plans.

Healthcare is often the #1 concern for retirees and families moving abroad. Fortunately, Argentina shines in this area with highly trained doctors and modern facilities.

Private Insurance (Medicina Prepaga)

Private health plans are called 'prepagas'. Unlike US insurance, they are prepaid medical memberships. You pay a monthly fee and get direct access to hospitals and doctors without deductibles.

Many retirees find that their entire monthly cost of living in Argentina is less than what they paid for health insurance alone back home.
