Charlene Wenger, Amerimed Hospitals and BUPA a winning combination

I gave up on insurance stateside after three years of applying full time while living there.

In the spring of '07 I attended a "information on Mexican Insurance" presentation posted in the BPE by who else but Char Wenger and hosted at the Paradise Cafe.
The presentation by BUPA representatives was informative and very well intended. I followed up with Char who answered my questions and gave me the drill. I proceeded jumping the hoops applying for an essential care policy with BUPA with Char's guidance and delivering all the paper work . One thing that stuck with me was her statement that BUPA was outstanding about timely reimbursement for your expenses and that is why she endorses it so strongly. Its a given that your CC gets you the care at the time you need it & insurance reimburses you.

Low and behold I 'm one week out of successful hernia surgery. Surgeon Dr Rochas and internist Dr Montes at Amerimed CSL were thorough in their pre surgery consultations, explanations and answers, all in English. I was very comfortable with the entire staff at Amerimed CSL as I always have been with The Amerimed staff in Los Barrilles. I only made two trips to CSL. Blood work and paper work was done in Los Barriles and was well coordinated between Amerimed staffs.

The real deal however is Charlene Wenger, RN, ARNP and lead mover and shaker @ Amerimed in Los Barriles. She has been accessible and forthcoming with information to recommend doctors and services ( I saw a dermatologist a year ago recommended from her list) . To top it all she has walked me through every stage of the BUPA insurance maze before and after the hospital stay. She now has my receipts for the bills and is walking them through the system. BUPA has an office in CSL and she has re pore and regular communication there.

I could not be happier with the all the proceedings and quality of care as well as thankful for the relatively stress free and convenient surgery event I've had.
Thank You Char.  (unsigned)
