Mexico Health Care

Mexico health care is fast becoming a popular alternative to expensive treatment back home for Americans and other foreigners.

As well as attracting a new generation of "medical tourists", health care in Mexico is also one of the many reasons people choose to relocate to Mexico.

Many are pleasantly surprised by the very high quality of Mexican medical treatment, which is due in part to the fact that many of the best medical staff in Mexico have trained in universities and hospitals in the U.S.

There are essentially two healthcare options for foreigners that move to Mexico - private health insurance or Mexican healthcare insurance from the state.

There are a great number of private health insurance companies which offer policies to foreigners buying property in Mexico. At Investment Properties Mexico our services do not stop with the delivery of keys, we can also advise you on health care and other information you'll need to know when living in Mexico.

If you wish to opt for the state health insurance option then we recommend you purchase the Medical IMSS Plan for retirees, which costs approximately $270.00 a year. The annual premiums include access to outpatient clinics, hospitals, and all medications and care at no additional cost.

You can expect shorter waiting times and even better service from the private insurance option, but either way you will still have access to excellent Mexico health care.
