Embassy of the United States

Acceptable medical and dental care is available in Buenos Aires but varies in other areas, especially in rural zones.  Physicians, dentists, clinics and hospitals usually expect immediate cash deposits to perform health services. US medical insurance is not always valid outside the United States. The Medicaid-Medicare program does not provide payment for services outside the United States. In some cases, medical insurance with specific overseas and medical evacuation coverage has proved useful. 

For information on health risks, travelers can review the Centers for Disease Control's website for travelers at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/
