"Puerto Vallarta has a wide range of emergency services available to its citizens and visitors. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial 066, which is the national emergency number. Ambulances are typically staffed with trained medical personnel and are equipped with the necessary medical supplies and equipment to provide basic medical care. Additionally, the local fire department and police department are available to respond to any emergency situation," remarked another expat who made the move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
"We live in PV 6 months of the year in our condo there and are just a 5 minute walk from 2 private first rate hospitals, Medasist and CMQ in downtown Puerto Vallarta. You can literally walk in and be seen immediately by a doctor in Emergency. I was admitted for 2 days in 2015 for bronchitis. I had a large private room with a window, couch, large bathroom and everything was absolutely spotless and shining clean... floors etc. Nurses uniforms new and clean also. I speak Spanish so I was able to communicate with all my caregivers. The food was excellent, delicious actually. The lady at the front desk, who was also in charge of activating insurance quickly and efficiently coordinated with my insurance provider so that I was not out of pocket at all in the admission stage where they normally ask for a credit card. I was recommend insisting at this stage that the hospital contact your insurance company to take care of all costs or you will end up paying something and having to claim it back. For a 2 day stay, my bill was around $2355 USD," explained one expat living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
