Medical tourism Heart attack on vacation

In order to pay a claim an insurance company will base their payment on what is called a Reasonable and customary” charge for a particular service usually based on the area where the service is provided. That would include services provided by hospitals or physicians, . Reimbursement can take directly between the provider and the insurer , PROVIDED that have a formal agreement with them .

The likelihood of this happening in this area or any area outside of Canada, the US , Europe etc is highly unlikely for small claims ( definition will vary) . If it’s a large claim say in excess of $50,000 US they may have some sort of arrangement, but don’t count on it unless it is performed in one of Mex big cities. If it’s a serious medical emergency have someone get in touch with your insurance company immediately !

Credit cards and cash are likely to be your only options in this area. Make sure you keep copies of your bill and that they are as detailed as possible. If you end up paying for expenses that are in excess of reasonable and customary for the area , you will not likely be reimbursed for that excess amount
