Waiting times in public healthcare facilities can be excessively long and such facilities can be overcrowded, delaying citizens and expats\u2019 healthcare urgency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private healthcare facilities are much less crowded, and waiting times are much shorter so patients can access urgent healthcare whether or not their case is an emergency or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another good news for expats is that private health insurance in Mexico will allow you to freely choose your desired doctor as you would like, including multilingual ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because while public health insurance allows access to more affordable healthcare, it comes at a cost of non-English speaking doctors, which can be problematic for non-Spanish speaking expats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are the various areas covered by Mexico\u2019s private health insurance:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental and Vision treatment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental healthcare<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inpatient and Outpatient treatment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physiotherapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rehabilitation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-existing conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evacuation or repatriation\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel Insurance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:14915,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:65280},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:255},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;16&quot;:8}\"><div class='code-block code-block-56' style='margin: 8px 0;

In that case, you may need to pay before leaving the hospital and submit relevant paperwork for reimbursement, or even a deposit before receiving treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Non-residents, retired expats, freelancers, and nomads are ineligible for IMSS coverage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and will need their own private health insurance coverage. Additionally, keep in mind that even a good health insurance policy doesn\u2019t necessarily eliminate the need to pay for medical emergencies entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain hospitals in Mexico may require a <\/span><b>guarantee of payment <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">certificate from the insurance company to prove the payment won\u2019t be out-of-pocket. While this eliminates the need to pay upfront, you will need to coordinate international paperwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to clarify with your selected insurance company about any requirements regarding notifying them before seeking medical treatment and what receipts they need for reimbursements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will US Health Insurance Cover You in Mexico?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For expats in Mexico, it\u2019s worth noting that most US health insurance plans will <\/span><b>not cover US citizens living in Mexico<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Most US health insurance plans will only cover you in the state you\u2019re living in while some plans cover you throughout the US entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, only a few US health insurance plans can cover you outside the US. You will have to confirm coverage limitations once you leave the US in preparation for moving to Mexico.

The public insurance sector is provided through the IMSS and INSABI, which provides healthcare to those not covered by IMSS or private insurance.

To remedy this, arrange a health insurance policy that is not only valid for coverage in Mexico but also covers you and any of your family members.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is going to the hospital expensive in Mexico?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare in Mexico is generally affordable compared to the US, especially for those with health insurance.
