What to know when getting expat health insurance
in Mexico

• You must have read on the internet that
  healthcare in Mexico is less expensive compared
  to the USA. However, when it comes to medical
  treatments- particularly emergency medical care,
  you will have to spend a lot of money if you
  dont have insurance coverage. Quality of care in
  Mexico will vary widely across facilities but you
  need to have insurance coverage because most
  providers will require the same before offering
  you treatment.

• Before you move to Mexico as an expat, it is
  very important for you to learn about the local
  healthcare system before researching on the expat
  health insurance options.
• There is no doubt that healthcare costs n
  Mexico are low, estimated to be 25-30 lower than
  in the US but when living as an expat,
  subscribing to the national healthcare system
  will not be enough. This is because public
  hospitals are often overcrowded, especially in
  bigger cities of Mexico.
• It is better to make use of the private sector
  if you want to avoid the waiting list. In order
  to manage your healthcare costs, it is
  recommended to opt for an international health
  insurance.
