Public Healthcare in Jalisco, Mexico

[@YvonneDoerksen]

Hello Tamara! Look time no see. Your videos are always interesting and informative. Your garden is looking lovely. So nice to see and hear from you 🇨🇦

[@Ilovesactown]

It’s been awhile and good to see you back😊

[@bloomallen]

Thank you for this and your other outstanding videos Tamara and for your wonderful recommendation to me yesterday on my Facebook post when I inquired about health care programs here in Mexico. I applied for my Seguro Salud Jalisco card this morning at the Chapala health care center. Your very timely advice saved me tons of $ and for that I thank you so much. Best to you always!

Thank you! I'm so glad this helped you.

[@kaleohanokeesee]

I wondered if we'd ever see you again!

[@garyelliott3807]

Glad you're back. Best wishes for your friend.

Thank you so much for the information, that took a lot of research. Do you know that Salud Digna is a very good place for lab work and for non emergencies most farmacies have a doctor on site? Similares has the famous Dr Simi 😊 Hope you have some near you

[@anythingispossiblenow]

Thank you for that information. I will be doing another video on other options for healthcare and will definitely add this information. It did take a lot of research and I never feel like I cover everything, but hopefully people can take it from here on their own.

Very very useful! Thanks for doing this. It seems like a great program but here's my Question: Does the proof of domicile (electric bill or water bill, etc) need to be in the applicants name? In other words, if you're renting a house then can you use the landlord's bill with your address on it?

Are there translators-for-hire in the Chapala region?

[@anythingispossiblenow]

Probably. I don't make enough money on this channel to hire a translator though!!

[@missmayflower]

There are concierges who you can hire to go to important appointments with you. Generally, though, you don’t need one. Lots of people speak English and Google Translate is adequate.

My understanding is that Medicare will not cover you after 6 months LIVING/have a visa in MX. During that six months they will cover 'emergencies'. As our friend, VG, learned, once you leave the hospital after the 'emergency'...no more. Democrats Abroad fights the good fight to get those of us who have paid into Medicare all those years covered no matter where we are.

[@anythingispossiblenow]

It depends on your Advantage plan. What and how long they will cover emergencies is dependent on what your contract says and what they decide to cover. If you sign up with Lakeside Medical, they check everything as soon as you join, so you know what will be covered and for how long.
