Procedures patients commonly consider in Mexico

When operating, every patient receives itemized quotes directly from providers for their specific case — no generic price lists, no surprises.

Dental implants (full arch)

All-on-X implant treatment at established dental clinics in border and resort cities.

Gastric sleeve

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, one of the most-traveled-for procedures.

Cosmetic surgery

Planned access to board-certified plastic surgeons for common aesthetic procedures.

Hip & knee replacement

Total joint arthroplasty at major hospital cities with international patient departments.

IVF & fertility care

Fertility treatment cycles at established clinics with English-speaking coordinators.

Dental crowns & cosmetics

Zirconia crowns and cosmetic dentistry, often completed in fewer visits than at home.

Where we plan to operate

Cities we are researching for established medical hubs. No partnerships have been finalized and no referrals are being made.

Los Algodones

A well-known dental destination near Yuma, AZ, popular for drive-in dental care.

Tijuana

A high-volume bariatric and cosmetic corridor across from San Diego.

Monterrey & Guadalajara

Major hospital cities for orthopedic and complex procedures, served by direct U.S. flights.

Cancún & Puerto Vallarta

Cities combining medical facilities with recuperation-friendly environments.

Mexico City

The country's largest concentration of hospitals and subspecialists.

Frequently asked questions

Is medical tourism to Mexico safe?

Many North Americans receive care in Mexico each year, and outcomes depend heavily on choosing reputable, licensed facilities. When we launch, our plan is to work only with facilities holding valid sanitary licenses, to verify physician credentials before adding any partner, and to publish safety guidance for each destination.

What does care in Mexico cost?

Costs vary widely by procedure, provider, case complexity, and time — which is exactly why we plan not to publish generic price lists. Publicly reported rates suggest care in Mexico can cost substantially less than comparable U.S. hospital pricing. When operating, our process is built around itemized written quotes from providers for your specific case before any commitment.

What if something goes wrong?

When operating, we intend to require partner facilities to carry malpractice insurance and to help you plan follow-up care in advance. Collapse Health would be a facilitator, not a healthcare provider — clinical care would be delivered by the independent providers we match you with, with responsibilities documented in writing.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

Many Mexican hospitals in major medical hubs have English-speaking staff. We also intend to provide English-speaking coordination when the service launches.

Will my U.S. doctor follow up with me after?

Many will. We intend to provide procedure records in English and help coordinate post-operative communication with your home physician where needed.

Will my insurance cover treatment in Mexico?

Almost certainly not. US health insurance — employer plans, ACA marketplace plans, HMOs, Medicare, and Medicaid — generally does not pay for planned (non-emergency) care delivered outside the United States, regardless of referrals. Travel insurance covers emergencies abroad only, never scheduled surgery. This is exactly why the self-pay market exists: the service is designed for patients paying directly, whose savings versus US prices are largest. Some border-area insurers do offer plans with Mexican provider networks, but those come with their own providers. Check your policy documents for the definitive answer on your specific plan.

How would Collapse Health make money?

Our intended model is that partner providers pay us a referral fee when a patient books — patients would not pay us directly, and that arrangement would be disclosed up front.
