Health Insurance in Mexico
| The first thing to know about health
insurance in Mexico is that Medicare is not accepted outside of the United
States. Some U.S. and Canadian health insurance companies
will cover you while in Mexico, but most will not. If you
are going to be traveling in Mexico for a short period of time,
you can buy short-term health insurance for travelers. If
you are considering making a move to Mexico, and planning to
establish residency, then consider the state-run medical network
known as IMSS. |

Cost for IMSS
insurance, doctor's visits, procedures and medications are
minimal (about $250 USD a year). The program is available to all full-time residents,
regardless of nationality, after proof of residency in Mexico
for one year and passing a prescreening physical and
interview.
