English term or phrase: Medical Kit and Additionals
This is for an Insurance Company in Puerto Rico.

A "Medical Kit" was sent to the doctor.

The only term that I can find is "Botiquín Médico" In Puerto Rico this means Medicine Cabinet. It does not say what kind of supplies or medicines are sent in this Medicine Kit. Or whether its a doctors bag. I need the term used in Puerto Rico. Does anyone know? How would you translate it?

Additions - Additional. Paid up "additions and Additional" 1 year term is in dollars only. This is an insurance Term. Does anyone know? Again, term used in Puerto Rico.

Botiquín médico y elementos adicionales


Explanation:
"Botiquín" means "Cabinet" as the one in the bathroom, however, "Botiquín médico" can be both, a cabinet and a box to be taken on trips, etc. If you say "Botiquín médico" in context, it is bound to be generally understood as "Medical kit" because that is the term used generally for a box with medicines in it. I thought"elementos" would be a nice, fairly vague, word to go with "adicionales". Cheers and good luck.

Explanation:
Estuche Médico, which is understood as a case containing medical supplies used by a doctor. As for additionals, sounds to me as if this is "adicionales" simply put.

Best of luck!

Material de curación y otros


Explanation:
I guess that you're safely covered with "material de curación" in Puerto Rican Spanish. As for "additionals", you may use safely the term "otros" and you're also safely covered.

Best of lucks.

Botiquín de implementos médicos. Coberturas adicionales y adicionales completamante pagados


Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con botiquín para uso en Puerto Rico, pero recomiendo la palabra "implementos" en caso de que no se refiera únicamente a medicinas.
En pólizas de sguros existen las coberturas adicionales, las cuales uno pueden pagar por cuotas o totalmente al igual que la cobertura básica.
