O.h.i.p health coverage while in Mexico?

Question

I am and have been visiting Mexico for decades. Anyone know if

I am covered for emergency hospital bills? Do they keep you in jail here until someone pays? Will O.H.I.P.eventually take care of the bills ?

Answer 1

Yes.

I am from Ontario. My boyfriend's mom got sick while she was there and needed medical treatment. OHIP reimbursed her bills. I think she paid it initially, but OHIP then repaid her. I'm not sure of the process, but they will cover it for you.

Answer 2

BETTER NOT END IN JAILINMEXICO, YOU WILL NEED A LAWYER, BRIBE TO MAKE A CALL, STAY OUT OF TROUBLE, AND FOR INSURANCE YOU ARE COVERED, CHECK YOUR POLICY IF IT APLLIES, AND WHAT HOSPITAL ALLOW IT

Answer 3

First, what is O.H.I.P.? Weather you are covered here or not will depend on your SPECIFIC policy. So do, some do not. No, they won't keep you in jail, but the bill CAN follow you back to the US and destroy your credit if it is not paid.
