In-Depth Clinical Development

Expat families in Medellín and Cartagena typically use one of two healthcare pathways:

  1. International Expat Insurance (Cigna Global, Bupa, Allianz, Aetna, GeoBlue, Diplomatic Plans): Requires itemized official invoices (Scarlett Rodríguez Group S.A.S., NIT 901648142-8) alongside a clinical report containing DSM-5-TR / ICD-10 / ICD-11 diagnostic codes, standardized test scores (ADOS-2, ADI-R, VB-MAPP, WISC-V), and provider license numbers (Colpsic N° 174600 / ReTHUS plus our Allied Pediatric Neurologists and Psychiatrists).
  2. Colombian Medicina Prepagada (Sura, Colsanitas, MedPlus, Coomeva) & EPS under Law 2628 of 2026 and Resolution 1197 of 2024: Our 4-Phase Clinical & Allied Medical reports provide the exact legal and clinical foundation required to activate Article 12 and Article 13 of Law 2628 of 2026 and obtain copay exemptions under Colombia’s Disability Certification framework.
