While public systems like IMSS and INSABI exist, retirees typically prefer private healthcare due to shorter wait times and bilingual staff.

Key average costs:
– Consultations: CAD $40–$70
– Imaging: CAD $100–$250
– Annual checkups: CAD $250–$500
– Private insurance: CAD $1,500–$4,500/year

Hospitals in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Mérida, and Puerto Vallarta are internationally accredited.
