    Expat Insurance Expert Phil Eitman on the Nosara Podcast

    Welcome to another episode of the Nosara Podcast, where Rich Burnam sits down with longtime Costa Rica insurance expert Phil Eitman!

    Phil has lived in Costa Rica for around 18 years and has spent more than 15 of those years helping people navigate insurance here.

    We start with Phil’s story of moving to Costa Rica, figuring out how to make a life here, and eventually getting into international health insurance after looking for coverage for his daughter.

    From there we get into the stuff people really need to know: international health insurance, the difference between public and private healthcare in Costa Rica, medical emergencies, air ambulances, home insurance, cars, roadside assistance, construction and commercial insurance, and even wills and estates.

    Of course we get sidetracked along the way talking about old Costa Rica, dusty roads, New Jersey, stand-up comedy, Coconut Harry’s, Nosara vs. Tamarindo, how much Nosara has changed, development, community, and why people who come here should find a way to chip in.

    If you live in Costa Rica, are thinking about moving here, or just want a better idea of how insurance and healthcare actually work here, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Insurance Phil.

    Dr. Leo: Nosara’s Red Cross Needs Your Help-Money, Supplies, Awareness

    Dr. Leo has been part of the Nosara community for years as a private physician and now as a volunteer for the Red Cross. In this episode, he explains why that volunteer work matters so much right now: the Red Cross in Nosara is an NGO, and it’s facing a real shortage that could leave the community down to a single ambulance. Many people don’t realize this or that if you can’t afford private medical care, the Red Cross is who you call in an emergency. Dr. Leo breaks down the different ways to help, whether that is a monetary donation or donating supplies directly, and makes the case that a true paradise means services that work for everyone, not just those who can afford private care. He also shares his history in Nosara, his favorite surfers to watch in the water, and his least favorite traffic intersections in town.
