EPS Health Insurance in Colombia

Too late for you I know... but to help others

Your contribution to EPS is non negotiable! you pay 2% of your declared income, so ensure it is sufficient to not raise eyebrows, then work out what you want to pay as your 2% and work out your declared income from there.

If you have your Visa and Cedula (or Contraseña), then you are supposed by law to register for EPS before looking at any other private insurance. EPS covers you, your wife and children, you do not make separate payments for each person.

I would like to know where (what is the name of the agency and city) do you apply for the EPS program and if the social security pension from USA is counted as income to determine the monthly cost. I read that a non Colombian pension is not governed by the law 100. Will the monthly contributions include the spouse?  Is there any limitation on age (65+)?Thanks

We use an agent that basically sets you up as an independent.  Yes, your SS benefit can be used to document your income.
