Hello guys , question here for those who are US Citizen and now retired / living in Philippines, My mom is in Philippines now and she wanted to use her Medicare Insurance there, she talked to somebody and told her to go visit St.Lukes Hospital since all the US Cit living in Philippines/ and people who wish to come to USA go to this hospital and its affilliated by US Embassy in Philippines? Is there any Health insurance from USA that can be use in Philippines? Thank you in advance for your replies!! Peace!

It looks like there's a proposal to make Medicare portable to Philippines. http://www.asianjournal.com/fil-am-news/3-filamnews/13028-us-medicare-portability-to-ph-targeted-for-december-2012.html

Health care in Philippines is very cheap. It's cheaper to pay cash at St. Luke's than the health insurance premium that you'll pay to get US insurance over here even if it's portable.
