EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Healthcare And Insurance Choices In Mexico

Can one get insurance in Mexico if you’re only there for 6 months on a tourist visa?

Can I personally request a cholesterol panel blood test? What can I expect to pay?

Is zanex and monjaro available in Mexico?

Seems alot of people dont think about U.S. HSA accts but they are usable in Mexico for health costs. Non premium expenses/costs under 65 and even premium cost over. Which can go a long way there and open all kinds of funding options

Thank you for these important links!

I appreciate your videos. But, I'm always baffled and bit angry when I hear how great MX medical is.
reason, my late fiancé, got ill in Cabo, Dr. treated him in hotel but refused to take him to Hospital. His Insurance was notified and all arranged directly by Canadian Government insurance Co. but it takes 2 days for funds to be transferred, as it was a weekend. Canadians offices don't work on weekends. Dr. Andre refused to wait, wanted all cash immediately! in thousands $$, I didn't have that much on hand, that selfish MX policy killed my fiance. He needed urgent hospital care not, only CPR, where Dr callopsed his lungs by excess pressure.
My fiance died, next 4 days were a nightmare for me alone in MX.
Lack of emphaty for expats. $$$ was a factor not saving a life.
2nd, I was told by Police, it be in my best interest not to blame anyone, hmm??? Really? I guess expat life doesn't count

Choose wisely, I made a big mistake and used an US company that had bad reviews. Had a stent inserted las February- was in good general health beforehand. Although it's one of the conditions that was covered they didn't approve it. I had to pay the entire bill to get out of the hospital. They claimed I wasn't covered. Took five months for them to finally pay up. Now due my precondition I cannot even get the IMSS. Might have to move back to the states now due to this error.

Why was there no mention of Insabi for those who may not have a choice depending on their pre-existing condition? If you can't afford private insurance due to the pre-existing conditon and are rejected by IMSS, Insabi may be your only option. Also, what about the doctors at Pharmacies for routine care? Some of them are actually very good and all it costs is a good tip. Everyone says Insabi is only for the poor, but when you're healthy with a pre-existing condition but denied coverage everywhere else or given crazy prices despite being healthy, sometimes you have to accept what is available and Insabi actually has a lot of good doctors even if it has a chaotic process.

Wonder if anyone has had any experience with Ginki insurance? We met someone in SMA that has it and loves it. Seems inexpensive as well.

Another very informative discussion, thank you to both Edgardo and Mariana!

Gracias por la información. :) Medications can be much less in MX if you price check. In Guadalajara I have found that Farmacia Guadalajara is the most affordable. Also, if you visit a pharmacy they might give you a more expensive version of the medication. I always check the prices online first so I know which brands are more affordable.

So i take it any healthcare insurance you have in the states are not valid in Mexico?

California

Excellent video!!

The blood work my doctor has me take would cost me over $1000 in the US.

How much to see an oncologist for checkups and blood work. Prescription refills

I live with Psoriatic arthritis and will need medication for the rest of my life. I was curious if I could get international healthcare insurance to at least make sure I am covered in an emergency despite my pre existing condition. I wouldn’t mind paying for some or most of my care and medication if the prices are right, I just don’t want to be left hanging In case of an emergency.

I'm on Medicare. Aside from having worldwide emergency coverage on my plan, what companies offer coverage in Mexico?
