Insurance questions

  • - Is dental tourism excluded from travel insurance?
  • - Does any dental plan reimburse out-of-country care?
  • - 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.
