IMSS renewal

Has anyone renewed their IMSS (Mexican health insurance) since January? And did you then check in with the Administration lady at the clinic between Jaluco and Aguacate? She is telling us we have to use the Careyes clinic since we live in La Manzanilla. That would be MUCH less convenient, for many reasons! She says they started using a new computer system this year that forces people to follow the zone boundaries. Please let us know if you've managed to stay in the Jaluco/Aguacate clinic even though you live in La Manz. Thanks!

Hi. No news on the IMSS side. However there is news on the Seguro Popular side. Chisme has it that the Cihuatlan hospital will be finished as a state of the art hospital serving the whole region. It has allied with US Johnson and Johnson, the pharmaceutical company, and a US hospital. And that this should happen quickly (we don't hold our breath). the other bit of information is that any temporary or permanent resident is eligible for free medical care at the Melaque clinic and this hospital. Getting a card is easy. So, Bret, you might consider this. For me the clinic service in Melaque has been very good. Granted I haven't dealt with anything really, really serious except dengue. People, locals and visitors both, report that the Clinica Popular service is the same or better than IMSS service. I don't know this first hand. Just a thought, Cruz

Thanks, Cruz. We'll keep this in mind.
