Default Health Insurance/Tricare

Hello!everyone. I live near El Hipodromo, and I'm looking for a clinic nearby that takes tricare standard Health Insurance. Also, can anyone provide insight as to how the process works here. Are there any English speaking Doctors in my area? Greatly appreciate your help.

I live in Santiago.........If you get a positive reply from anyone I would certainly be appreciative to know. I am retired military and have spent a fortune in this country on health insurance without reimbursement.

Why don't you just get a local insurance (good ones: Humano, Palic Salud, Universal), for $700-$1500 pesos per month, and save yourself troubles and headaches?
