Topic: RE: Paying for surgery in Mexico

Mexcali Baratriac.  I actually did not use the card itself I paid cash and then, got reimbursed from my FSA account as soon as i got back.  They tend to add 3% to card usage in Mexico, so I just did it a different way.  But used the FSA account.  I got the switch

I would think not, since FSA cards are part of the US health system and would likely not work in MX

Can I use my FSA card (Visa symbol) to pay for my surgery in Mexico? It's really my only option to paying cash. I am at the limit and really think that my insurance may deny me because I'm otherwise healthy (BMI fluctuating 39.0-40.0).

That is a hard one.  Have you talked to you Primary Care Doctor?    I found a Primary Care Doctor who knew about weight loss surgery, but it took a little hunting.  I posted on the boards and FB groups and really did not have much luck, but then, I went to some of the local Baritaic groups and talked to people at the groups and found a local doctor.  Good luck.

Hi,

I'd like to get surgery in Mexico, but am concerned about coming back to the USA and not finding anyone to help me if I have a complication.  Did anyone experience this?
