Ambulance service typically is not included in private health insurance plans in Uruguay.
Ambulance services are managed by outside companies.
Some Mutualistas (Uruguay private hospitals) will allow you to “add” these services to your health care plan. You can also purchase them directly from the carriers.
Many of these ambulance service providers also offer access to Urgent Care clinics in their premiums.
For simple medical needs, like colds, sore throats and ear infections, you can simply walk into one of the local clinics and receive treatment and a prescription if necessary.
