MEDICAL ADVANCES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS IN MEXICO
HAS PUT MEXICO IN PLACE AS A TOP HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WORLD WIDE. TODAY
MEXICO IS COMPETING WITH THE UNITED STATES THRU MEDICAL TOURISM. MANY
ELECTIVE PROCEDURES SUCH AS COSMETIC OR BARIATRIC CAN BE PERFORMD IN
MEXICO BY EQAULLY QUALIFIED PHISISCANS AT HALF THE PRICE! SOME
INSURANCE PROVIDERS WILL LET YOU USE YOU INSURANCE IN MEXICO OTHERWISE
PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE IN MEXICO IS HIGH QIUALITY AND 25% THE PRICE
OF THAT IN THE UNITED STATED .THE OTHER OPTION IS THAT Americans over
the age of 60 who are full-time residents of Mexico may currently take
advantage of a government-run program offered by the Mexican Social
Security Institute (IMSS), which provides unlimited healthcare for a
$250 USD annual membership fee. For those younger than 19, the fee is
$95 USD. IMSS has about 1500 clinics and 264 hospitals across Mexico.
IMSS benefits cover regular health check-ups, eyeglasses, medicine,
dental work and even surgery. THEY EVEN STILL DO HOUSE CALLS IN MEXICO

soon-to-be seven state-of-the-art private hospitals with modern
Intensive Care units and Dialysis units. Diagnostic centers offer MRI,
