Health Insurance in Costa Rica
A Complete 2025 Guide for Expats and Property Buyers
Costa Rica, with its stunning landscapes from the vibrant sunsets of Tamarindo Beach properties to the serene beauty of Flamingo Beach properties,
is more than just a paradise for living and investment. It’s also renowned for its high quality, accessible healthcare system. For those considering a move to Guanacaste, or anywhere
in this beautiful country, understanding your healthcare options is a key step. The robust healthcare system, combined with the convenience of living near the Liberia Airport,
makes a move to this region an incredibly appealing prospect.
Costa Rica's reputation for high quality healthcare
Costa Rica holds a strong international reputation for its high quality healthcare, offering a blend of universal public coverage via the CCSS
(the “Caja”) and excellent private facilities at lower costs than many developed countries. The system is supported by a focus on preventive care, a high number
of well trained doctors, including those with international experience and English proficiency, and a commitment to modern facilities and electronic health records.
While the public system faces strains like long waiting times for certain procedures,
the combination of affordability, quality, and access to international standards makes it a top destination for medical tourism and expats.
Our company, Summer Coast Realty, is proud to help you find your dream home, whether it’s near our exclusive Flamingo Beach properties office
or a charming coastal villa near the Tamarindo Beach properties office.
As the Broker and CEO, Lindsey Cantillo, I am committed to ensuring your transition is as smooth as possible, and that includes understanding important aspects like health insurance in Guanacaste.
