Planning surgery in Mexico from Canada.

Explore planned care without rushing the decision.

Canadian patients may consider care abroad when comparing access, costs, or treatment options. A shorter wait is not guaranteed. Your assessment, the provider’s availability, and a safe recovery plan determine the schedule.

Choose your route carefully

An itinerary through El Paso involves entry into the United States and then Mexico. Check entry and transit requirements for your citizenship and immigration status. Compare routes to El Paso with routes directly into Mexico before buying flights.

Confirm coverage and the full cost

Ask your provincial or territorial plan and private insurer for written confirmation of any coverage. Do not assume planned treatment abroad, complications, or medical repatriation will be reimbursed. Ask which currency applies to your quote and budget for exchange rates.

Make aftercare a priority

Arrange follow-up in Canada before traveling. Request records and discharge information that your local clinician can use, and confirm who will answer clinical questions after you leave.
