Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private doctor visit cost in Costa Rica?
A private general practitioner consultation typically costs $50 to $80, and a specialist visit runs $80 to $120. These prices are a fraction of US costs, which is why many expats pay out of pocket for private visits rather than relying solely on the public CAJA system.
Do doctors in Costa Rica speak English?
Many private physicians, especially in the Central Valley and major towns, trained abroad and speak fluent English. English is common in private clinics serving expats. In the public CAJA system, Spanish is the working language, so bilingual expats or a facilitator can help with important appointments.
Is private healthcare in Costa Rica worth it?
Private care offers fast specialist access and your choice of doctor, which the public CAJA system rations through wait times. Most expats use both: CAJA for catastrophic and ongoing care, and affordable private visits for speed and convenience. This dual approach costs far less than US private insurance.
