@mikee2all, if your Oncologist or hospital has someone to help you navigate the system, I strongly recommend using them. When my wife and I tried doing it ourselves, it took a lot of hours, including more than one call to AstraZeneca. This past year, we contacted my doctor's social worker, sent her a few documents, and she called us back when it was done. She also told us there is more than one plan, probably depending on your insurance status.

Thanks for your reply. Costa Rica has a social medicine. We all pay about $80 a month and all medical is covered, no matter what. According to my oncologist, she is private and works hand in hand with the CAJA. (Costarican Social Security).
If the CAJA for some reason didn't come through, I would go to the VA Hospital in Miami.
