Medicina Prepagada is a supplemental health plan for Colombian residents that legally requires an active EPS affiliation, operates on monthly payments, and lacks mandatory repatriation coverage unless expensive add-ons are added. In contrast, EG Assist is an independent private health policy specifically tailored to satisfy Resolution 5477 for Colombian visa applications. It requires no EPS enrollment, includes mandatory medical and funeral repatriation, and allows upfront purchase for 1, 2, or 3 years to match your full visa duration at a lower total cost.
