Vehicle insurance in Ecuador can be very different from the one you are used to since in Ecuador it is not mandatory to hire auto insurance,  some reason why only 23.7% of vehicle owners keep them insured, which is a problem when there is a traffic accident, not having insurance and with the economic possibility of paying for the damages of the affected and their own, the perpetrators of the accident flee generating irreparable losses in the affected, not counting if there are fatalities.

For this reason, a fundamental recommendation of Blue Box is to insure your vehicle, in Ecuador, the coverage is all risk, that is to say, your vehicle will also be protected in case of a crash, as well as it has coverage for damages to third parties, this type of coverage allows you to be insured and in case of an accident, you only pay your deductible that will depend on the value and year of your vehicle.

What is a pre-existing condition and why should I declare it? A pre-existing condition refers to any diagnosis that you suffer from before contracting your health insurance and you must declare it since this information will reach the company when you go to the treating doctor and you must request your medical record to present to the company for your claim.

Declaring your pre-existing conditions is the best option before contracting health insurance, we recommend making a list of all your conditions throughout your life, many times some of the affiliates do not declare surgeries that were performed ten years ago because they consider that it is already a long time, But when they visit a doctor that undeclared surgery becomes a real problem since the doctor will describe each of your diagnoses in your medical record that you must present when you go to make a claim to the insurance company and once they review it they determine that your emergency or medical case could be related to an undeclared pre-existing condition.  It is also important to declare for example if you suffer for more than two weeks any pain that you consider acute or chronic even if you …

You know Ecuador it is not the perfect place to drive a car, you have to be SO aware. The chance to have a transit accident is high especially if you are not 100% alert.
Let’s say, you are walking down the street and are hit by car. Did you know that it is mandatory by the law, that public and PRIVATE hospitals attend to the victims?
This is because Ecuadorian law indicates that all vehicles that circulate in the country have a Public System for the Payment of Traffic Accidents (SPPAT), which protects all citizens economically, whether drivers, passengers or pedestrians who suffer injuries or unfortunately die in a traffic accident caused by the circulation of a motor vehicle on Ecuadorian territory.
“The Public Service for the Payment of Traffic Accidents (SPPAT) guarantees citizens their right to receive an immediate and quality health service throughout Ecuador.

An affected citizen has the right to the following:

• Transportation and mobilization expenses for victims of up to USD 200.00 per person.
• Medical expenses up to USD 3,000.00 per person.
• Payment for permanent, total or partial disability, for an amount of up to USD 5,000.00 per person.

WHY DO WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND A SECOND OPINION.

Two weeks ago one of our affiliates called Carlos, CEO of BLUE BOX, and told him that he is about to undergo surgery for an approximate value of 6. Carlos immediately suggested she visit another doctor within the network who speaks English and can attend her immediately, the affiliate took the recommendation and when she visited the second doctor he did a couple of tests in which he determined that the problem was not in her knee, that it was fine, the problem actually lies in her hip and this problem could be treated only with analgesics and a few therapies, the initial value of $6.000, the affiliate has not invested in her health even 10% of the value set by the first doctor, like this story we have many days from our affiliates and our recommendation is always the same, before having a medical procedure please visit at least two doctors and verify that the values to be charged are fair to you and do not overcharge you or give you diagnoses that do not correspond to your ailments.

In Ecuador sometimes you will find people who could have much higher …
