How To Pay the Cost of Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico?
Paying with MBS has never been easier! These are your options.
Despite providing quality care that stands at par with US hospitals, Mexico is way more affordable. How?
Thanks to 3 compelling factors.
Cracking the Code: Why WLS in Mexico Is a Bargain!
1. Low Cost of Living
The living expenses in Mexico are 50% lower than in the US.[5]Expatistan “Cost of living in Mexico compared to United States” “Cost of living in Mexico is 50% cheaper than in United States” View in Article
And 41% lower than in Canada.[6]Expatistan Cost of living in Mexico compared to Canada “Cost of living in Mexico is 41% cheaper than in Canada” View in Article
Therefore, necessities like food, medication, and lodging are incredibly affordable.
Thus, making your medical vacation in Mexico budget-friendly!
2. Low Wages
In 2021, the avg. annual wage in Mexico was just $16,610.[7]Statista Average annual wage in Mexico from 2000 to 2021(in U.S. dollars) “See graph” View in Article
That’s over 77% less than the avg. annual wage in the US at $74,738 that year.[8]Statista Average annual real wages in the United States from 2000 to 2021(in 2021 U.S. dollars) “In 2021, the average annual real wages in the United States amounted to 74,738 U.S. dollars” View in Article
Lower wages for healthcare professionals translate to reduced labor costs.
That means fewer expenses for the hospital you go to and, thus, fewer expenses for you.
3. Competitive Prices
In 2020, more than 1/3rd of American medical tourists poured their dollars into Mexico’s healthcare system.[9]Statista Leading countries of destination for medical travelers from the United States in 2020, by share of total spending “Mexico was the most significant destination for American medical tourists in 2020, accounting for over a third of all their spending.” View in Article
