Affordable, World-Class Eye Care
Expats in Yucatán can rely on Videre Ophthalmology for high-quality, affordable eye care. Even with foreign insurance, the cost of treatment at Videre is often less than undergoing surgery or treatments in the U.S.
Insurance Options for Expats
One of the key advantages of Videre Ophthalmology is their flexibility with insurance options for expats. Many expats in Mexico opt for Mexican insurance, as it’s often the easiest and most convenient option. For those with Mexican insurance, many ophthalmological services are covered, and reimbursement is common—allowing patients to receive a percentage of their costs back. The process includes deductibles and co-pays, similar to insurance systems in other countries.
For expats with foreign insurance, partial reimbursements can also be arranged. While many patients initially pay out of pocket, they later receive a percentage back from their insurance provider. Even in cases where surgeries may be free or covered by insurance in the U.S., many find it more comfortable and cost-effective to have their procedures done in Mexico, avoiding the hassle of traveling abroad for care.
