International Health Insurance for Peru
World-class medical coverage with no waiting lists, no public-system limitations, and no borders.
Why IPMI Matters in Peru
Peru’s healthcare system operates through two main pillars: EsSalud (the social security system for salaried workers) and SIS (Seguro Integral de Salud, which covers low-income and vulnerable populations). While 99% of Peruvians technically have some form of coverage, the reality is vastly different from what that number suggests: specialist wait times stretching from weeks to months, chronic medication shortages, and deteriorating infrastructure — particularly outside Lima.
Peru is also home to more than 875,000 foreign residents (a 50% increase from 2022), including over 1.6 million Venezuelans — the second-largest concentration of the Venezuelan diaspora in the world. For this diverse population of expat professionals, immigrant families, and Peruvians who travel or live abroad, international private medical insurance (IPMI) offers a reliable alternative that does not depend on the fragmented local system.
What Does an IPMI Plan Cover
Unlike EsSalud or SIS, an IPMI plan gives you access to top-tier hospitals worldwide — without bureaucratic approvals, without endless waiting lists, and without relying on local infrastructure:
International Hospitalization and Surgery
Full coverage at the hospital of your choice, anywhere in the world. Surgery, intensive care, implants, and specialized treatments with no network restrictions.
Specialist Consultations
Direct access to specialists without months of waiting. You choose your doctor — not the system.
Medical Evacuation
If local infrastructure is not adequate for your condition, IPMI includes air medical transport to the appropriate hospital facility. This is especially valuable outside Lima, where medical infrastructure is limited.
Maternity Coverage
Family plans include prenatal checkups, delivery, and neonatal care. Ideal for families seeking high-quality maternity care.
Second Medical Opinion
Access to world-class specialist networks to validate diagnoses and treatment plans before complex procedures.

Who Is IPMI For in Peru
Expat Professionals in Lima
Lima is home to tens of thousands of international professionals working at multinational corporations, embassies, and international organizations. An IPMI plan guarantees continuity of coverage when they travel or are relocated.
Peruvians Living Abroad
If you have moved to the United States, Spain, Chile, or any other country, an IPMI plan travels with you regardless of where you live. You never have to start over with each move.
Venezuelans Residing in Peru
With 1.66 million Venezuelans in Peru, many face barriers to accessing the local healthcare system. An IPMI plan provides medical access that does not depend on immigration status or local documentation.
Business Owners and High-Net-Worth Families
Given the reality of Peru’s public healthcare system (only 2.9% private insurance penetration), families with financial means seek coverage that guarantees access to the best hospitals in the world.
Retirees Planning to Relocate
Peruvians planning to retire in Panama, Ecuador, or the Caribbean need portable coverage that works in their new home and when they visit Peru.

Frequently Asked Questions — IPMI Peru
Can I use IPMI at private clinics in Lima?
Yes. Your IPMI plan covers you at any hospital or clinic in the world, including top private clinics in Lima such as Clinica Ricardo Palma, Clinica San Felipe, and Clinica Anglo Americana.
Do I still need EsSalud if I have an IPMI plan?
If you are a salaried employee in Peru, enrollment in EsSalud is mandatory and paid by your employer. IPMI functions as an independent supplementary coverage — you can use either one based on your preference.
How much does IPMI cost for a Peruvian?
For a 35-year-old adult with Latin America coverage and a $1,000 USD deductible, premiums can start from $120-220 USD per month. Worldwide coverage is more expensive. Get a free quote for exact pricing.
I am Venezuelan living in Peru — can I apply?
Absolutely. IPMI is a private international product that does not depend on your nationality or immigration status. Your current country of residence (Peru) is used for the quote.
Does IPMI include medical evacuation from the provinces?
Yes. If you are located outside Lima where medical infrastructure is limited, your IPMI plan includes medical evacuation to the most appropriate hospital facility — whether in Lima or in another country.
