New Livestream Explains How to Use Medicare Advantage in Panama — with Zero Out-of-Pocket Costs

Panama City, Panama – October 24, 2025 — Panama Relocation Tours will host a special livestream to explain how to have zero out-of-pocket expense when you use Medicare Advantage plans at MiniMed Hospital and its 14 affiliated clinics through a new direct billing program.

If you’ve ever worried about having to prepay thousands of dollars for medical care in Panama before being reimbursed by your insurance, we have fantastic news for you!

On Wednesday, October 29th, join Jackie Lange, founder of Panama Relocation Tours, for a special livestream where you’ll learn how to use your Medicare Advantage and other U.S and Canadian insurance in Panama — with ZERO out-of-pocket costs through a new direct billing program at MiniMed Hospital and its 14 affiliated clinics (more clinics coming soon).


This is a major breakthrough for retirees and expats!

A representative from the direct billing company and MiniMed will join Jackie to explain:

✅ How the direct billing system works at MiniMed Hospital and clinics

✅ How to use Medicare Advantage for urgent or emergency care

✅ Which other U.S. and Canadian insurances are accepted

✅ How to pre-register online for free

✅ What’s covered (hint: it’s more than you think!)

✅ How to switch from Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan that includes international coverage


Why This Matters

Unlike Panama-based insurance, Medicare Advantage has no age limits and no exclusions for pre-existing conditions.

And now, you don’t need to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement — direct billing takes care of everything.

Jackie Lange shares, “For years, I’ve been working to make direct billing possible in Panama. Now, thanks to MiniMed Hospital and their billing partner, expats can finally use their Medicare Advantage and U.S. insurance without paying out of pocket. This is a huge step forward for retirees in Panama.”
