Argentine private health insurance (Medicina Prepaga) offers a variety of plans for different budgets and healthcare needs. Depending on the plan de salud, coverage may include specialist consultations, hospitalization, laboratory tests, diagnostic imaging, emergency assistance, home doctor visits, and dental care.
Some prepaga providers accept applicants up to 85 years old (ACC-000225), making them a good option for retirees and older residents. Foreign nationals can often enroll using only their passport and Residencia Precaria, without needing a DNI. Higher-level plans provide access to a larger network of hospitals and clinics across Argentina.
For foreign mothers planning to give birth in Argentina, certain prepaga plans offer specialized maternity plans (ACC-000228), covering 100% of pregnancy, childbirth, and the baby’s medical needs during the first month of life. Where available, Immi Legal can assist with the entire process, including insurance enrollment, eligibility verification, waiting period requirements, maternity coverage confirmation, and coordination with the health insurance provider.
