The new Cornerstone hospital is state of the art and they do accept US insurance. Ameri-Med and San Javiar also accept US ins. I do not know if you have to pay upfront and then they bill the insurance for you or not. You might also want to contact your insurance company and ask them what their procedure is for out of the country claims and get the necessary claim forms to take down with you.

Pam Thompson is the patient representative for Cornerstone Hospital you can email her at pmt@prodigy.net.mx and ask her what their policy is. She is wonderful and I am sure she will be glad to tell you how they handle the claims at Cornerstone.
