Health Insurance in Mexico and Coverage for Expats
by West Coast Global Insurance West Coast Global InsuranceWhether you are moving to Mexico from the U.S. or already live there as an expat, you should know that American health insurance programs—such as Medicare—do not extend beyond the country’s borders. In other words, your U.S. health insurance will NOT cover treatment in Mexico.
The best way to protect yourself while living in México is to secure expat health insurance.
Healthcare in Mexico for Expats
Mexico’s healthcare system has a global reputation for being excellent yet affordable—healthcare costs in Mexico are estimated to be 25% to 30% lower than in the States! No wonder Mexico is the medical tourism destination of choice for most North Americans.
However, relying exclusively on the national healthcare system as an expat in Mexico may not be enough. While public hospitals in Mexico are of a good standard, they are often completely saturated, especially in big cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, Tijuana, and Monterrey.
It is best to use the private sector to avoid unnecessary delays and get easier access to quality care. Expat health insurance in Mexico covers you at private clinics and hospitals throughout the country and allows you to choose your own healthcare provider as well.
Private hospitals in Mexico are known for their short wait times, world-class infrastructure, excellent patient-to-doctor ratios, and high-quality personalized care. Furthermore, English-speaking doctors are more common in private hospitals. All of this suggests that expat health insurance is the best way to keep yourself protected while staying in Mexico.
What Does Expat Health Insurance in Mexico Cover?
- In-patient and out-patient medical treatment
- Cancer treatment
- Accidents and Emergencies
- Dental and optical treatment, usually optional
- Maternity treatment
- Health checks
- Mental health care
- Physiotherapy
- Rehabilitation
- Emergency medical evacuation or repatriation.
