Your Dynamic Lifestyle Deserves Reliable Health Protection.
Colombia has one of the world’s best healthcare systems, and health insurance is relatively inexpensive in Colombia compared to other countries.
The hospital system is of high quality, and the provision of health services can be given mainly through 3 main lines:
This public health insurance is mandatory for everyone who is a resident of Colombia. The monthly premium is 12.5 percent of the 40 percent of monthly gross income you declare to the EPS.
This is private healthcare insurance in Colombia. The monthly premium for Prepagada varies depending on your age, the plan you choose, and any pre-existing conditions.
This is a free government-subsidized healthcare system, which is only for Colombians with low economic resources.
Also, please note that during your stay in Colombia as a tourist, and even to apply for a Colombian visa, it is advisable and in many cases mandatory, that you have a private international health insurance policy.
Here are two recommendations endorsed by the Colombian government:
Both offer health insurance tailored for expats, providing global coverage and ensuring access to quality medical assistance wherever you go. Explore the benefits we offer:

Luisa was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. She guided me step-by-step, ensuring everything was done correctly and on time. The team’s dedication and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless. I highly recommend Expatgroup for anyone looking for expert assistance with visas in Colombia!

Thanks to Expatgroup I am getting all the support I need to begin working on time in my new job. This service is convenient for someone already in Medellín and in need of an FBI background check.
Last year I utilized Expat Group to renew my visa and everything went very smoothly. They are friendly, professional and efficient.
This year I’m utilizing their visa renewal services again. I recommend them 100%.
Expatgroup is a great service. They work diligently on your behalf to make sure that all your documents are in order before they submit them to the Migration Service of your behalf. If you have any questions they are willing to meet with you to provide the answers prior to you submitting your application request. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is applying for a visa to live in this wonderful country. Roddy
