What booking through Flymedi adds

Clinics set their prices and carry out your treatment. Flymedi is free for patients and adds support around it.

Read how we verify doctors and the facilities where they operate.

Why patients choose Mexico

  • Close to home. The CDC notes that US medical tourists most commonly travel to Mexico and Canada, and some Mexican clinic cities sit on the US border.
  • Lower listed prices. For many treatments, clinic prices in Mexico are lower than in the US. How much you save depends on the treatment and on what the offer includes, so compare listed prices and what they cover.
  • Care in English. Most clinics listed on Flymedi in Mexico name English among the languages they speak, and each clinic card shows them.
  • A regulated system. Clinics and hospitals that perform surgery need a health license from COFEPRIS, the federal health regulator.

Flymedi lists verified clinics in Mexico for dental treatment, plastic surgery, weight-loss surgery and hair transplants. Each link opens the clinics and treatments in that category.

Where in Mexico: cities with listed clinics

The US travel advisory sets a level per state. Levels below are from the advisory issued on May 29, 2026; check the current version before you book.

  • Tijuana, Baja California. Next to San Diego, with listed dental, plastic surgery, weight-loss surgery and hair transplant clinics. Baja California is at Level 3, "Reconsider travel", with no extra restrictions for US government staff in Tijuana.
  • Cancún, Quintana Roo. On the Caribbean, with listed dental and hair transplant clinics. Quintana Roo is at Level 2, "Exercise increased caution".
  • Los Algodones, Baja California. A border town near Yuma, Arizona, with listed dental clinics. US government staff may only go there from the US, via the Andrade port of entry.

Flymedi also lists clinics in Mexico City, Playa del Carmen and other cities. Many patients reach border clinics from the US; the clinic or your coordinator explains transfers.

Is medical tourism in Mexico safe?

Mexico has hospitals with advanced equipment in Mexico City and other major cities, but the US State Department notes that the quality of care at elective and cosmetic surgery facilities varies widely. Any surgery carries risks, wherever it takes place.

Treatment abroad adds others: choosing on price alone, unlicensed providers, flying too soon and weak follow-up once you are home. The State Department's travel advisory for Mexico has a section on medical tourism and elective surgery, and the CDC's medical tourism page explains how to lower the risks.

How to check a clinic before you book

  1. If your treatment involves surgery, the clinic or hospital holds a health license (licencia sanitaria) from COFEPRIS, Mexico's federal health regulator. For major surgery, the hospital has emergency and intensive care on site.
  2. You know who performs your procedure, and their professional license (cédula) appears in the public registry of Mexico's Ministry of Education (SEP). Plastic surgeons can also be certified by CMCPER, which runs a public directory of certified surgeons.
  3. Your treatment plan, the price and what it includes are in writing before you travel.
  4. You know how transfers work, including from the US side if the clinic is in a border city.
  5. Aftercare and revision terms are in writing, and reviews come from verified patients. See how we verify doctors and how reviews work on Flymedi.

The US travel advisory is issued state by state: Cancún is in Quintana Roo, and Tijuana and Los Algodones are in Baja California. Check the current advisory for the clinic's state before you book.

How to plan your treatment in Mexico

  1. Share your case

    Tell us your goals and your medical history, with photos or X-rays where they help. If you see a doctor at home, ask whether the treatment suits you and share what they say.
  2. Compare offers, not headline prices

    Check what each offer includes: treatment only, or hotel, transfers and follow-up visits as well. Check who performs the procedure and where.
  3. Consult before you book

    Speak to the surgeon or dentist by video before you commit. Get the treatment plan and the price in writing.
  4. Check entry rules and the advisory

    Entry rules depend on your nationality, and US citizens flying in need a passport book. Check the State Department's travel advisory for the clinic's state too, because levels differ from state to state.
  5. Plan your stay

    Stay as long as your doctor recommends, including until you are cleared to fly or drive home. Each treatment page explains recovery for that procedure, and our pre-op guide covers what to do before you travel.
  6. Plan aftercare at home

    Know your medication, when your follow-up checks are and who to contact: your coordinator and the clinic. Tell your own doctor about the treatment when you are home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does treatment in Mexico cost?
It depends on the treatment, the clinic and what the offer includes. Flymedi shows clinics' listed starting prices in the price table on this page, each labeled "Treatment only" or "All-inclusive package". Your final price comes after the clinic assesses your case, and you get it in writing.
What does a treatment package in Mexico usually include?
It varies by clinic. Some offers cover the treatment only; others add a hotel stay, transfers and follow-up visits, but rarely flights. Check the written offer for exactly what is covered, including transfers from the US side for a border clinic.
How and when do I pay?
You pay a deposit to Flymedi to hold your treatment date, and it is deducted from the clinic's total. You pay the balance directly to the clinic when you arrive, before treatment, by card or bank transfer. Installment options depend on your country, the clinic and the amount: see payment plans.
Do I need a passport or visa for treatment in Mexico?
Entry rules depend on your nationality, so check the current rules for your passport with a Mexican embassy or consulate before you book. US citizens flying to Mexico need a passport book, because a passport card is not valid for air travel. On arrival, Mexican immigration officers decide how long you may stay.
How long should I stay in Mexico after my procedure?
As long as your doctor recommends. It depends on the procedure and on how you recover, and it includes the time before you are cleared to fly or drive home. Each treatment page explains recovery for that procedure, and your treatment plan confirms the dates for your case.
Do doctors and staff speak English?
Often, yes. Most clinics listed on Flymedi in Mexico name English among the languages they speak, and each clinic card shows them. Ask which languages your doctor speaks, and have an interpreter written into your offer if you need one.
Will my insurance or Medicare cover treatment in Mexico?
Usually not. Medicare usually doesn't cover health care outside the US, and many US health plans don't cover elective treatment abroad, so check your plan (or, in Canada, your provincial plan) before you book. Look for travel insurance that covers complications from planned treatment and medical evacuation home.
Can I bring a companion?
Yes, and many patients travel with a partner, relative or friend who can help during the first days of recovery. Ask whether your offer covers a companion's hotel stay and transfers, or what they add to the price. Check the entry rules for your companion too.
What happens if I need help after I get home?
Tell your coordinator, who stays your contact after treatment and raises your concern with the clinic. If your surgeon confirms a revision is needed, we arrange it under the clinic's revision policy in your written offer. For urgent symptoms, go to the emergency room, and tell your own doctor about the treatment.
Is Flymedi free to use?
Yes, Flymedi is free for patients. Clinics pay us a fee when a patient they treated came through Flymedi, and the price you are quoted is the price the clinic charges. See how Flymedi works.
