@NewBrazil Not everything is cheaper in Brasil. Eyeglass lenses, for example, are many times more expensive here than in the USA. I haven't compared prices, but I shopped for hearing aids here and they are very expensive, too.

Heard the same thing here. Curious on what our medical plan will cost, but am sure it鈥檚 reasonable. Bought all our Apple electronic toys already in prep for our move in August. Set with eyewear as well.

My investigation in dental implants in Recife resulted in estimates of around R$8000 per tooth in the private sector.聽 I am paying $8000 + dental insurance.聽

I would be interested in how to access this service.

What is the quality of the service though?

My dentist here in Niteroi, who is first rate, quoted me R$2500 for an implant.

Amil isn't nationwide, and ran into serious financial problems a couple of years back -- in fact, I'm a little surprised to hear that they're still in business.聽 When we talked to them, which was some years back, they weren't accepting any new customers 60 or over; that will certainly exclude some retirees, if it's still their policy.聽 So their current financial condition, geographic scope of coverage, and membership conditions are good things to discuss in some detail with their representatives.聽

With the contacts you've developed in Curitiba, you're well positioned to make an intelligent choice on a medical plan.聽 Quality from the same company varies widely by state and region, and a company that's straight-A in one part of the country can be D- in another, so ask the locals you trust and believe them.聽

If you plan to do a lot of traveling, you'll also want to make sure that the plans you consider have a presence in the areas where you're most likely to be.聽 Some plans are limited to individual states, or even individual cities, and the very best plan in Curitiba won't do you much good if they don't go beyond the municipal limits, and you get sick in Rio de Janeiro.

@Pablo888 Can't help but saying my only daughter hit the jackpot with this industry, from an unhappy young adult living in a small room in my house in MD. to an executive making more than six figures with her own spacious luxury place. All because of this industry. She is the top American Executive of an Asian Dental Implant Prosthetics firm that uses AI and 3D Printers to create dental implants for Dentists.

@NewBrazil There is another reason why this exists. When I was in R.I. to take care of my 99-year-old father, i tried to get much needed dental work done. NO ONE took new patients. I am sure the quality was there but it was all out of reach. I HAD to wait until I went to Brazil (Ceara) to get it done. No Choice, although I would have preferred to go to the baggage check at Sao Paulo airport with a mouth that didn't look like a checkerboard. 馃槷

@roddiesho, does your daughter has a recommendation for a dentist in Recife?聽 I also have another recommendation but I need to know how long I need to stay in Brazil for the procedure as this is not a 1 day thing....

Thank you.

Just checked my rates in Brazil and for my wife and I we are paying about $700 for a medium plan.

Does this beat that?
