Public Health Care - Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS)
Costa Ricas public health insurance system, commonly known as the Caja, is available country-wide to all citizens and legal residents. There are ten major public hospitals four in San Jose, including the Childrens Hospital affiliated with the Caja. For non-emergencies and everyday medical care, small clinics, known as EBAIS (pronounced ay-vy-ice), are located in almost every community.
The cost to affiliate with CCSS is approximately 10 to 11.5% of your income; alternatively, residents may become members via ARCR, which provides a streamlined and simple joining process. Please note that for those under age 55, Caja payments include a mandatory pension payment, which will be disbursed beginning at age 65.
