One of the most common reasons for seeking medical care abroad is for check-ups. Within the realm of medical tourism, this is considered one of the safest and most beneficial options due to its affordability and practicality. In the U.S., medical check-ups can be expensive, especially without insurance, with each test billed separately. Moreover, specialized tests are sometimes not performed because your doctor may not authorize them, even if you believe they are necessary. In contrast, in Mexico, you can undergo specialized medical tests without needing a referral from your primary care doctor. You can share the results with your doctor for further analysis, but a special request is not required.
A basic check-up in Texas costs around $400, but it typically includes only a limited number of tests that may not be sufficient for more in-depth analysis. In contrast, a similar basic check-up in Mexico is approximately $65. If you prefer a more comprehensive package that includes cancer screenings, dental cleaning, and even a nutritional evaluation, WMA offers the most complete check-up, starting at $1,700 for men and $1,800 for women.
**All prices are in U.S. dollars and may vary with exchange rates.
This isn’t your typical check-up—it’s a comprehensive examination designed to give you a 360-degree view of your health.
And you might wonder why there’s a price difference between men and women. This is because men and women have distinct medical needs due to differences in their reproductive organs, requiring additional tests for women to ensure thorough health monitoring.
Are all these lab tests necessary? Not necessarily, but they are preventative measures. You can opt to have them every two to three years to monitor your health, with the simpler tests done annually.
What does the Check-up include? All the answers (40 + years)*
