If you are filing for a Temporary/Permanent visa, I offer a 100% money back guarantee. That’s right. If I don’t get you your visa, you pay nothing. My name is Isabel Mosquera. I am an Ecuadorian, who studied and lived in Canada for many years. I have been a Visa Facilitator for over 7 years and have assisted more than two hundred and fifty Expats in obtaining their Visas, Temporary and Permanent, Cedulas, Translations, Health Insurance, housing and much more. These services are available as one fee package or individually. I own a car, so transportation is always included at no extra charge. I have always gotten my clients their Visas, even under the most difficult of circumstances, such as unreadable fingerprints for FBI reports. Have you moved to Ecuador without the required documents? Don’t worry, I can help. I offer free consultations, either by telephone, email or in person. I am at the Immigration office on a very regular basis, so I am knowledgeable about all recent changes in the law and am happy to share my knowledge with you. I will be happy to provide you with references.
I look forward to serving you.

Each company manages different parameters to approve or deny hospital credit. There are three scenarios:
1. One reason a hospital credit may be denied is if the surgery is related to a declared pre-existing condition (this can be appealed by your agent), or an undeclared pre-existing condition. Therefore, it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to ensure that all pre-existing conditions have been declared at the time of filling out the form with your agent/broker.
2. In the case of an Emergency or Accident requiring surgery or hospitalization, here is the key: when asked about the payment method, the response should be “I HAVE PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE”. IF YOUR ANSWER IS THAT PAYMENT IS BY CREDIT CARD, nothing can be done, and the client must pay the hospital first and then request reimbursement. It is important to inform your agent so they can work together with the hospital/clinic to initiate the process. In the event of an accident such as a fall, appendicitis, colitis, or any type of infection, IT MUST BE COVERED, and only the Deductible and Copayment must be paid.
3. For scheduled surgery, it is important that the surgeon fills out an insurer pre-approval form and provides your agent with examination results such as laboratory tests, X-rays, etc., to support the request. THE KEY IS TO DISCUSS WITH THE SURGEON AND ENSURE THEIR AGREEMENT TO USE THE INSURANCE. Otherwise, the insurer will cover hospital expenses, but payment must be made separately to the surgeon.

The elderly phase of life demands respect, care, and specialized attention. For expatriates who have spent years in the United States and across the globe and have chosen Ecuador as their new home, ensuring quality care is a priority. At Bluebox Asesores, we understand the importance of safeguarding your health and well-being, especially at a stage where care and medical attention are fundamental. Moreover, within our insurance method, we have incorporated personalized advice in case you have doubts about procedures suggested by your physician. Unfortunately, in Ecuador, there isn’t a legal entity that regulates the costs of surgeries and medical procedures in general. Hence, medical professionals are free to set their own price lists and apply them as they deem fit. This is why we always recommend seeking a second medical opinion.
Ecuador offers a unique healthcare system, and adapting to this change can be challenging. At Bluebox Asesores, we comprehend the differences and provide support to ensure you feel safe and supported in transitioning to this healthcare system. We provide informative data about clinics, pharmacies, and clinical laboratories within your health plan. With this information, you can access all the services offered by your plan through a minimal cost known as a COPAY. This term refers to the partial value you are responsible for in your medical care and access to medicine, blood tests, imaging, and others…continue reading
