Relocating to a new country can be incredibly overwhelming. During the process of shifting, one detail that often gets ignored is - healthcare. If you are relocating to a country like Mexico, healthcare is a very important detail to cover. It is important to ensure that you have secured high quality care for you and your loved ones.
Preparation is the key!
Health insurance and cost of prescription drugs in Mexico is lesser compared to the USA but you need to be well-prepared if you want to enjoy quality, affordable healthcare during your stay.
In Mexico, access to healthcare has expanded in a significant manner. Today, every large to medium city in the country has a first-rate hospital. Majority of doctors employed in private hospitals or clinics in Mexico are English speaking and have received training in the USA or Europe.

Coming with a visitor’s permit to Mexico?
You can live in Mexico for upto six months on a visitor’s permit (FMM). Expats who are living in the country on a visitor’s permit are likely to be covered by international health insurance. Also, it is important to note that not all private hospitals will accept foreign health insurance.
Private healthcare in Mexico
Private healthcare system is available for expats if they can afford it. Even though it is expensive, it is one of the best systems that the country offers. But if you want to use your existing US insurance plan in Mexico, there are chances not many private hospitals will accept it. You will have to pay out-of-pocket to obtain healthcare services. Payment will have to be made in advance in cash or through your credit card even before you obtain care.
