Why You Need Travel Medical Insurance in Loreto
Mexico does not accept US Medicare or Canadian provincial health cards. A private hospital admission in Loreto costs $1,500–$3,000 USD per night, and an emergency evacuation can exceed $25,000 USD. Travel medical policies from GeoBlue, Trawick International, and IMG start around $1 per day and cover emergency care, hospitalization, evacuation, and repatriation — with direct-pay hospital billing so you never pay thousands upfront.
Top Private Hospitals in Loreto
A historic colonial mission town on the Sea of Cortez, increasingly popular with US and Canadian retirees seeking unspoiled Baja. Top private facilities that international patients use:
- Hospital Comunitario de Loreto
- Private clinics for stabilization
IMG plans with high evacuation ceilings are the priority here.
