How Does An Urgent Care Insurance Policy For $600/Year Sound To You?
That's the deal being offered by Dr. Jesus Gonzalez-Gaytan, former medical director of AmeriMed Hospital, who started his own company in November 2006, promoting and developing a fundamental change in the way medical care is provided in all the Mexican resort cities.
"Presently we are providing outpatient medical coverage to the foreigners that live in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point, Mexico) for more that six months out of the year. We are doing this through a yearly medical contract for $660 (U.S. Dollars) plus IVA (10% Mexico's federal tax).
This contract provides a yearly history and physical (this includes all the basic laboratory testing, EKG, X-ray, etc.), all the follow-up visits, any emergency visit with the emergency medications available, home visits if necessary and the organization of any transfers for hospitalization to a USA hospital," said Gonzalez, "As soon as we have the Urgent Care Center we will expand coverage to all the weekend visitors."
This healthcare project was established for the sole purpose of providing medical care and medical management to patients and hospitals in Mexican tourist cities, established with the goal of providing American style personal physician services and comprehensive health care in Mexican clinics and hospitals, at a reasonable cost and in an environment that is familiar and comfortable to the tourist patient that is accustomed to the high standards of healthcare present in all American clinics and hospitals.
"Our specialty will be to provide the best emergency medical services to stabilize, treat and transfer any patients with the typical severe accidents that happen in these resort towns," said Dr. Gonzalez, "With the JCI certificate we will obtain the market of patients that are looking for resort cities that provide programmed surgical procedures at better costs and in a paradise environment to recuperate from their surgeries.
We are also developing Assisted Living homes to be made available to Americans with private long-term care insurances ("Baby Boomers") and if possible to Medicare recipients at a much lower cost than in the USA and with the same or higher medical standards of care.
Dr. Gonzalez currently has one clinic operating in Puerto Penasco, Sonora (the resort town of Rocky Point, Mexico). With the master plan of managing an Urgent Care Center at Sandy Beach and later in expanding to full service hospital. Afterwards the construction of another Urgent Care Center in the Mayan Palace area (35 kilometers from Puerto Penasco) and the management of another similar projects at San Carlos, Sonora.
Services include:
- Physical examinations for school, pre-employment or employment, CDL, executive exams, and life insurance,
- Chronic wound and ulcer care,
- Diabetic foot care,
- Vaccinations for influenza and pneumonia,
- Travel immunizations,
- Smoking cessation treatment,

I have personally toured the facility and met with Dr. G. I have several friends that live there full time and have the insurance plan with Dr. G. and are very satisfied.
I feel very safe and confident that my health issues are covered when I am in Penasco. I look forward to Dr. G. expanding!

Looks like a very feasible option! Why not extend it to other communities too?

Oh he has plans to, and when we get the next version of this website up and running we'll be publicizing his progress. Sounds like you might know Rocky Point. What a great little town!

I'm glad to hear that.. Instead of spinning webs, moving communities to support themselves though health care would be a great idea under this program. And a noble one too!
