Medical Insurance for Mexico Tourism

MTC network hospitals accept US medical or dental insurance in Mexico. They assist patients with insurance paperwork. It, in turn, helps the patient to make an insurance claim. However, it is essential to know the overseas insurance coverage terms:[18]Mexico US Embassy Information for Hospitalized U.S. Citizens in Mexico “Hospitals in Mexico generally require payment up-front for services rendered and will place holds on credit cards if a patient is admitted. The U.S. Government does not pay for medical care overseas. Some private U.S. insurance companies pay for medical care overseas, but usually on a reimbursable basis…” View in Article

  • The US Government does not pay for medical care in Mexico.
  • Private US insurance companies may settle for reimbursement.
  • Mexican hospitals generally require an up-front payment.
  • Rarely, Medicare may pay for non-emergency inpatient services in hospitals near US-Mexico border towns.

Knowing the terms of cover can help you more. Do check the insurance coverage areas with your insurance provider.


Why is Healthcare so Cheap in Mexico?

The promise of high-quality with almost one-third the prices sounds confusing. How is it that even the same brands’ implant costs less in Mexico than in the US? While currency exchange rates make the prices look cheap, other factors are genuinely making them so.

These lower costs pertain to the medical culture of the country. Some of the driving factors are[19]Expats in Mexico Why Medical Costs Are Lower in Mexico “…here are a few reasons that pertain to the medical culture of Mexico… Lower Salaries,  No Student Debt, No Malpractice Insurance, No Third Parties…” View in Article:

  • Lower Salaries: Earnings in Mexico are lower across the entire spectrum of jobs, including medical professionals.
  • Subsidized Education: Mexico doctors carry no student loan debt due to government subsidies. It reduces the chance of overcharging their service.
  • No Malpractice Insurance: Mexican doctors don’t purchase expensive medical malpractice insurance. It is often used in the US to protect doctors against lawsuits.
  • No Corporate Influence: Most physicians practice without intrusions from corporate. They enjoy the full profit; in return, patients get lower medical costs.
  • Low Prescription Cost: Most prescription drugs in Mexico are 30%-60% less than in the US. Little regulation by the govt in the US affects the price of medicines sold there.

Is Medical Tourism Safe in Mexico?

World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) marks Mexico’s national destinations with the “Safe Travel” stamp. The country adopts global health and hygiene standards.[20]The Mazatlan Post The WTTC Grants Safe Travel Seals “Among the national destinations that already have the Safe Travel Seal, Mexico City, Tabasco, the State of Mexico, Chiapas, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, Baja California.” View in Article

Thus, it would be right to say Mexico is safe for Medical Tourism. Also, the following reasons contribute towards this:

  • The quality of health care services in Mexico is comparable to the States.
  • Mexico has the highest number of certified hospitals in Latin America.[21]Oxford Business Group Investment in expanding Mexico’s medical tourism segment “In terms of certified hospitals, we have the largest in Latin America – Doctors Hospital – we have recognized doctors and specialists in all kinds of practices, and this draws a lot of attention.” View in Article
  • Modern equipment is plentiful in major cities.[22] International Living Mexican Healthcare is Excellent and Affordable “Modern equipment is plentiful in bigger cities, and such things as cardiac and brain surgery are commonplace with good results.” View in Article
  • Medicines in Mexico is as safe as it is in the United States of America.[23]Focus on Mexico Medical Tourism in Mexico “Medicines in Mexico are as safe as they are in the USA.” View in Article
  • Most importantly, the healthcare system in Mexico is not profit-driven.[24] International Living Mexican Healthcare is Excellent and Affordable “The primary difference and one that is usually quite obvious is that the care system is not profit-driven...” View in Article

Seeking medical care through a reliable mediator may help alleviate some of the associated risks. It’s because these facilitators mainly work with certified/accredited healthcare providers.


Medical Tourism to Mexico Guide

How to Choose a Clinic?

There is a large diversity when it comes to healthcare providers in Mexico. Some are well aware of an international patient’s needs. Still, others may not be well equipped or trained to do so.

Not all healthcare providers have the same high standard of quality you would expect at home. Hence, research is vital while seeking medical care in Mexico.

Focusing on the following criteria helps to select a doctor overseas:

  • What safety standards does the hospital overseas follow?
  • How close is the hotel zone to the hospital/clinic in Mexico?
  • Do Spanish doctors speak English?
  • How much is healthcare in Mexico?
  • What type of aftercare is available for medical tourists?
  • Does my medical insurance cover me in Mexico?

Look for the hospital’s quality indicators. These are mortality rate, infection rate, nurse-patient ratio, surgery success rate, etc. Compare them with your provider back home. Also, check out the patient reviews and testimonials for shortlisted clinics.

Every hospital’s in-house team will assure you that they are the best. In this case, a reliable third-party source of information can help. This way, you will make a more informed decision.

At MTC, we prioritize finding the top specialists in each city. Our verification process includes checking for a medical license, international accreditations, latest technology, sterilization protocol, experience, and patient reviews.
