One moer thing

My son 2 years old got sick. WE went to EMT room at playa linda. Actually he came to us at the hut, and called the Doctor for us. Doctor came andsaw my son, slight ear infection..Cost $100 I thought it was reasonable, but gave 3 prescriptions for $27.00 (antibiotics, drops, nasal spary) Just shows how the States marks it up. But the Doctor was awesome niciest guy and made us feel good about seeing him and told us to call him if we needed anyrhing else. Highly recommend it if you need it.
Also needed to get up at 5:15 or so to get hut...

We have had excellent experiences with all medical staff on the island over the years.

We took our child to the emergency room. The visit was $25.00 and the medication was another $25.00. I swear I would rather get sick there than here - a lot cheaper. At our hotel the doctor didn't make a house call - just diagnosed the first time over the phone.

My husband had anaphylactic reaction at 1AM. Security guard from Amsterdam Manor stayed with us until Taxi arrived and took us to ER. Staff was excellent. Total cost $125., which Aetna reimbursed when we got home.

Re: One moer thing

it's a wise idea to find out if your health insurance has you covered oversea (aruba). in some cases they don't or they require you to pay cost 1st then file paperwork for reimmbursement when you get back to the states. also very wise to notify insurance company that you will be traveling and the dates that you are.
