Insurance Just In Case?

Just wondering if any of you traveling got any kind of insurance just in case? God forbid something should happen, but if it did and you were stuck in the hospital down there longer what happens? Do you get a bi bill in the mail? Do you have to pay there? Has this happened to anyone?

  • I would tell whatever person you go with that if something happens you want to be taken to the San Diego to the hospital, the U.S. has to treat you, also make sure your Dr knows this

I think you would have to pay before you left the hospital, a friend of mine had a brain aneurism when she was in cabo and she almost died and they would not let her leave the hospital tell she paid them $15,000, they wanted it in cash, her insurance even said they would pay and that wasn't good enough, with that being said I had a backup plan for when I went, I was going to have them drop me at the border and let the U.S take care of me. have you talk to your Dr about complications? I would definitely go with some kind of a backup plan
