I would like to preface this article by stating, I am not a lawyer, or an MD so do your own due diligence.
I would like to thank Daniela Cordero at Cuenca Expat Insurance for providing private insurance and support. I came to this country 3 years ago from the US and kept Medicare even though it only provides coverage in the US. Fast forward 2 years to the time I had to update my visa. I kept BMI but dropped Medicare for cost savings (about 200/month).
If you do not take Medicare when eligible you may have a fine of 10% each year and wait for the open enrollment period. I found an exception buried in an internal memo.
EXCEPTION. If you are working overseas and that government has a universal insurance plan (IESS).
- KEEP YOUR PRIVATE INSURANCE HERE.
- FILE YOUR TAXES CORRECTLY HERE AND THE USA. American citizens can be double taxed, so do your FBAR (IRS) and RIMPE (Ecuador tax) if needed.
- ENROLL IN IESS. I had Daniela do it. Personal note, Daniela and I visited an IESS facility. She would not use the bathroom.
- CANCEL MEDFICARE PART B AND LIST IESS AS YOUR PRIMARY INSURER. This was the most difficult thing. BE PERSISTENT. Personal note. I used an internet-based phone system that was linked to a poorly set up of a supposed security camera. That made things worse.
- DOCUMENT YOUR BUSINESS INCOME IN ECUADOR. I do not have a regular job with pay stubs but I report income from self-employment on my taxes. I met the physical presence test and avoided double taxation. To qualify as self-employed for Medicare you must have an employee.
- IF NEEDED, return to US for good in future, get Medicare and drop BMI and IESS. I think the worse that will happen is that Medicare will say no, you are paying the fine and waiting just like anyone else that refused Medicare when eligible.

It’s not difficult to eat better. Yes, it’s not difficult to avoid pollutants. But how do you get rid of the pollutants and poisons that are already in your body?
One of the best formulas is an amino acid called EDTA Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid – called Chelation Therapy.
Chelation Therapy is thought to improve health by biochemically improving bodily harmony. It is an amazing therapy that:
• Is safe and effective
• Draws out toxins, metabolic waste, and unnecessary and toxic metals from the bloodstream
• Increases blood circulation
• Restores proper blood circulation to the tissues of the body
• Reduces internal inflammation caused by free radicals – which can help prevent angina, heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension.
• Can ease the discomfort and disability from degenerative disease
• Can improve memory, eyesight, hearing, smelling, vigour and stamina.
• Can improve breathing capacity and function for sufferers of lung conditions.
It travels in the blood through the entire body, where it causes many changes and benefits to occur, and then it is passed out through the kidneys within 24 hours.
Chelation Therapy could help you with your medical and health problems.

Private health insurance or not, immediately call 911. State your location, describe the emergency, and provide all vital details. Also, have a fluent Spanish-speaker: it’s invaluable to have someone fluent in Spanish assist you. This could be a friend, neighbor, or insurance agent. Medical emergencies, especially in unfamiliar settings, can be overwhelming. Breathe deeply, rely on your contacts, and trust the medical professionals attending you.
With Private Insurance:
Inform your insurance agent: After contacting emergency services, notify your insurance agent as promptly as possible. They can assist with communication, and ensure your needs are efficiently addressed.
Head to a private hospital or clinic: If possible, make your way to the nearest private medical facility where you’re insurance will be more readily recognized.
Mention your insurance company: Simply naming your insurance company is usually sufficient. Although presenting an insurance ID card isn’t required, it’s vital to state that you have private insurance when asked about your payment method by hospital staff.
Without Private Insurance:
Choose a hospital: Without private insurance, it’s advisable to go to a public hospital. Be prepared for potential wait times. Alternatively, you can opt for a private hospital, but be aware of potential costs.
Carry identification: Always have your ID and any relevant medical information with you. Public hospitals will attend to emergencies.
Regardless of your insurance situation, maintaining composure is key. Your health and safety are our top priorities. Should you have any inquiries or require further clarification on health procedures, we’re always here to assist.
