International Health Insurance for Mexicans
World-class global medical coverage. Real protection for you and your family, wherever you are.
Why Mexicans Need International Health Insurance
Mexico faces a complex medical reality in 2026. Medical inflation reached 14.8% — the highest in the world according to the Aon Medical Cost Trends report — while general inflation is just 3.2%. Domestic private insurance premiums rose between 20% and 40%, putting at risk the coverage of roughly 3 million policyholders who could cancel their policies.
At the same time, the public IMSS-ISSSTE system shows significant gaps: nearly 31% of IMSS members and 28% of ISSSTE members seek private medical care despite being enrolled, according to official data. Public health spending fell 14.3% in the first quarter of 2025 — the lowest level since 2010 — and further cuts to ISSSTE and PEMEX are expected in 2026.
International health insurance (IPMI) offers a comprehensive solution: access to top-tier hospitals anywhere in the world, without the limitations of Mexico’s public system or the runaway increases of the local market.

What an IPMI Plan Covers for Mexicans
Unlike local major-medical policies, an IPMI (International Private Medical Insurance) plan gives you borderless medical coverage. These are the main benefits we offer through our partner insurers:
International Hospital Coverage
Access to hospital networks in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Hospitalization, surgery, intensive care and specialized treatments covered from day one, without complicated prior authorizations.
Consultations and Specialists
Outpatient medical consultations with the specialists of your choice. No long waiting lists or closed-network restrictions. You choose your doctor.
Medical Evacuation and Repatriation
In an emergency where local infrastructure is not sufficient, your plan includes air medical evacuation to the appropriate hospital, as well as repatriation to Mexico if you need it.
Maternity and Newborns
Family plans with maternity coverage that include prenatal check-ups, delivery (natural or C-section) and neonatal care. Ideal for Mexican families planning to have children abroad.
Pre-existing Conditions
Depending on the plan and insurer, many pre-existing conditions can be covered after a waiting period. Our advisors help you find the best option for your medical history.

Who IPMI Is For in Mexico
Mexicans Living Abroad
If you moved to the United States, Canada, Europe or any other country, an IPMI guarantees quality medical access without depending on the local health system or losing your connection with Spanish-speaking doctors.
Professionals and Business Owners Who Travel Frequently
Mexico has a significant flow of professionals who cross borders regularly — especially into the United States. With more than 1.2 million annual medical travelers at the Mexico-USA border, having international coverage is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
High-Net-Worth Families
Faced with 20-40% increases in local insurance and medical inflation of 14.8%, high-net-worth Mexican families are opting for international coverage that gives them price stability and access to the best hospitals in the world.
Retired Mexicans Abroad
More and more Mexicans are choosing to retire in countries with a lower cost of living. An IPMI ensures quality medical care no matter where they decide to spend their retirement.

Does IPMI cover care in the United States?
Yes. Plans with «Worldwide» coverage include the United States, where medical costs are the highest in the world. We also offer «Worldwide excluding USA» plans at a lower cost if you don’t need North American coverage.
Can I use my IPMI in Mexico too?
Absolutely. Your IPMI plan covers you in Mexico and around the world. You can use it both at private Mexican hospitals and at any clinic in your international network.
What about my pre-existing conditions?
Each insurer has its own policies. Some cover pre-existing conditions after a waiting period (generally 12-24 months), others offer immediate coverage with an additional surcharge. Our advisors guide you on the best option for your specific case.
How is an IPMI different from a Mexican major-medical policy?
A local policy covers you mainly in Mexico with specific network hospitals. An IPMI covers you worldwide, lets you choose any doctor or hospital, includes medical evacuation, and generally has much higher coverage limits (up to $5-8 million USD vs. $1-2 million MXN).
