Why It Matters
Ecuador's Healthcare Is World-Class — and Affordable
Ecuador consistently ranks among the top destinations for expat healthcare quality and affordability. A doctor's visit costs $25–$40. An MRI costs $150–$300. A hospital stay at a top private hospital runs $200–$500 per day — a fraction of US prices.
But navigating the insurance landscape can be confusing. That's why we built this guide — to help you compare options honestly and find the right coverage for your situation.

IESS: The Foundation of Your Ecuador Insurance
If you hold an Ecuador visa, IESS enrollment is mandatory. It costs about $80/month and covers healthcare, medications, pension, and disability — with no pre-existing condition exclusions. Most expats use IESS as their base and add private insurance on top.
