Follow-up on INSABI
I was informed that INSABI is only available to Mexican Citizens. However, the employee I spoke to at Cozumel General did not seem very informed and consequently could not answer my questions.
There is speculation in the news that INSABI will be able to invoice Medicare therefore providing services to US Senior Citizens in Mexico. Likewise, Mexicans insured under INSABI would be able to receive care in the United States.
Due to the importance of this issue, I will schedule an appointment with the Hospital Director Dr. Villanueva to get further clarification.
