<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We spend 4 to 6 months a year in Mexico and have an evacuation coverage. Any bills we have from there we send to our provincial medical and they pay up to the cost in Canada.</p>

<title>Permanent Resident Health Insurance/Medivac Discussion</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see the discussion below about stand alone health insurance.  I am hoping to learn (and potentially share) information specific to health insurance applicable to extranjeros with permanent resident status.</p>
<p>I have permanent resident status. I will soon no longer be able to say that I am &quot;in my 60s&quot;. </p>
<p>I plan to soon be spending about six months per year in Mexico, likely two to four months at a time.</p>
<p>It seems to me that &quot;traveller's&quot; insurance would be prohibitively expensive, but that &quot;resident&quot; Mexican medical insurance might be a possibility. I am Canadian and will have my public health insurance when I am not in Mexico, so I would not need a &quot;world travel&quot; policy.</p>
<p>I am thinking that in addition to Mexican domestic medical insurance that it would be smart to have health emergency evacuation insurance. If I were to end up needing minor hospitalization in Mexico, that would be OK, but if I were to need serious medical care that would qualify for medical evacuation, I would probably prefer to have that covered and by someone who knows what they are doing.</p>
<p>Is there anyone in similar circumstances who has already worked out some, or all, of this for their own situation?</p>
