Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Playa del Carmen if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"If I had the option, and I DO because I have international health insurance, I am covered in the US as well as anywhere in the world. Without a doubt, if physically possible, I would go to the US for anything major. If I was unable to travel back to the US, many people use the faculties in Cancun and Merida simply due to the fact that these are more populated areas and as a result have better equipped hospitals," commented one expat who made the move to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
