Decision points
- - Airport and hotel logistics
- - Recovery hotel distance from clinic
- - Hospital backup
- - English-language coordination
- - Return flight timing
- - US follow-up plan
Insurance questions
- - Does ordinary travel medical insurance exclude the planned procedure?
- - Are complications from elective or planned care covered in Mexico?
- - Does any coverage continue after returning to the United States?
- - What itemized bills, medical records, translations, and proof of payment are required for claims?
- - Does evacuation mean local transfer, nearest suitable facility, or return to a US hospital?
Red flags
- - A package price does not explain anesthesia, hospital backup, medications, imaging, revisions, or complications.
- - The clinic says insurance will reimburse without policy-specific written confirmation.
- - Follow-up depends on a US clinician who has not agreed to receive the patient afterward.
- - Deposits are requested before credentials, facility details, and recovery plans are clear.
