Expat Healthcare in Mexico- Things to Know

• Standard of healthcare services in Mexico is
  satisfactory and you can find several world-class
  medical facilities out there. The network of
  private clinics and public hospitals is quite
  good in the country.
• For working expats in Mexico, medical treatment
  can be obtained under the IMSS program. However,
  this is applicable only if the organisation the
  expat is working with gets him/her registered for
  the service. The entire process is quite
  complicated, so it is not recommended for expats
  to register on their own.

• When expats are registered with IMSS, it will
  cover them for healthcare services as well as
  salary payments in case of major accident or
  illness. If you have been accepted into the
  program, you will be issued a card. Make sure you
  carry the card every time you visit the doctor.
• In Mexico, the entire National Health System
  falls under the Ministry of Health regulation.
  The government provides Seguro Popular to
  individuals who are not covered under IMSS or any
  other private coverage. If you plan on living in
  Mexico full time and become a legal resident,
  then you can apply for this healthcare insurance
  program.

• Your age will be impacting the health insurance
  options you get. For instance, if you are below
  60-65 years of age, then you can buy private
  hospitalisation coverage, depending on the
  company you are working for. This will generally
  not cover routine doctor visits or medications
  that are result of a covered incident. The
  premiums however, will increase every year as you
  age.
