Hi CSNOOKY1A,
It's good to get your message. In Uruguay, you have a number of private health providers. Each sets their own acceptance standards. The British Hospital is the most strict, in that it does not take new members over 60. (I started with the British Hospital when I was still in my 40s.) One of the most popular private health care providers among expats over 60 is Asociaón Española. I know people who were accepted as new members into their late 60s.

Here is a link to an article I wrote going deeper into the range of healthcare options available in Uruguay. https://internationalliving.com/countries/uruguay/health-care/
Let me know as additional questions about Uruguay come up.

I am in Guanacaste. Let me know if you are in my area and we can try to meet up. 🙂

I also suggest joining Facebook pages in the areas you are interested in to get more info and connect with people.

And hopefully people here will comment and share their experiences in CR. 🙂

Is it required to buy the CDW insurance they tell you That You HAVE to purcahse at the car renatl place? And if so Which insurance is best? I was there in December for 3 weeks and my car rental was only around $400 but with the ins. it was another $30 a day so another $630. They told me at the counter it is mandatory?

Thank you.
