Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Puerto Vallarta?
When we asked expats in Puerto Vallarta if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Puerto Vallarta, they wrote...
"Ask for receipts as many places don't issue one.....my health insurance would not cover my pedicures even though I went to the hospital for medical pedicures as the person doing it was not the officially accepted PODIATRIST. My massage visits are wonderful and reasonable 500 pesos for 75 minutes! My insurance companies pay those to a limit as long as the receipts show all necessary info... so check with your insurance company what is necessary. Many Mexicans don't or can't write properly, so make sure they spell your name correctly and have all the info correct, even the date as on one of my receipts the girl put 2010 when it was 2017 and my insurance company refused it even though I had submitted many receipts together and it was an obvious error. There are many walk in clinics with doctors, but quality is questionable, so stick to well known ones in your area. Similaries are good and lower cost. I also lived in Mexico for 2 yrs and worked and had the local Seguro Social medical coverage... covers basics. I speak Spanish so it worked out ok, but it was a bit of a drive and a different process... so when I felt stressed I just used the local private clinic and paid 500 pesos to see the doctor," explained one expat living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
"Healthcare and health insurance in Puerto Vallarta can be relatively affordable compared to other countries. Many hospitals and clinics offer competitive prices for medical services, and there are a variety of health insurance plans available to suit different budgets. The cost of health insurance in Puerto Vallarta is typically lower than in the United States, and the quality of care is generally good. Additionally, many hospitals and clinics offer discounts for cash payments, making healthcare even more affordable," said another in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
