Medical Tourism Insurance Policy



Recommended Posts

I live in the US and have scheduled VSG in Mexico with Dr. Illan. Is there any kind of insurance policy I can purchase that would cover my medical expenses in the US should I have complications once I get home?

Once you're back in the US, your policy SHOULD cover you, unless you have a strict one that has many bylaws or whatever. My insurance wouldn't cover the actual surgery without all the hoops, but they will literally cover anything else, no matter how or why it happened. Have you checked what that coverage would be?

@Miss Kay who you asking? If you were referring to my comment Novamar insurance only covers you while in Mexico. From the day you arrive to the day you leave.

Lots of helpful info. Thank you! I am afraid to ask my insurance about it because I don't want to call attention to it.

Well it's better to know now than it is to have a complication arise and then them say they won't cover it. Whether you wait or not, it won't change their decision on it. They can't refuse to cover covered treatment, so I suspect as long as they don't have to do the actual surgery you should be fine.

I drove to Mx since I live in Los Angeles and buy my Mex insurance online and find the cheapest. Just google Mexican Insurance and you find site that list a bunch of them. Easy peasy.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
