How To Pay the Cost of Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico?

Paying with MBS has never been easier! These are your options.

Why Is Bariatric Surgery Cheaper in Mexico?

Despite providing quality care that stands at par with US hospitals, Mexico is way more affordable. How?

Thanks to 3 compelling factors.

3 Reasons Behind the Low Cost of WLS in Mexico

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

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.”

But a staggering 4.7K hospitals in Mexico compete for these dollars.[10]Statista
