Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Bahamas?
When we asked expats in Bahamas if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Bahamas, they wrote...
"Before our health insurance kicked in at work our daughter needed stitches. We initially went to PM for treatment but after several hours wait a coworker assisted us to a private provider down the street. The cost at PM to be registered was $150. We lost that. The total cost at the private provider was approx $800 not including meds which were about $150. Work health insurance appears pretty good. We have a moderate copay and are accepted most places...even in united states," explained one expat living in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
"Healthcare and health insurance in the Bahamas can be expensive. The cost of medical care is higher than in many other countries, and health insurance premiums can be costly. Additionally, the cost of prescription drugs is often higher than in other countries. As a result, many people in the Bahamas struggle to afford the necessary medical care and health insurance," said another in Bahamas.
