    1. What Happens if I get Sick in Mexico?<\/h2>\n

    No destination wedding guest wants to imagine being sick while they’re away, but it can happen.<\/p>\n

    The good news is that you’re in good hands if you fall ill in Mexico<\/strong> as long as you know what to expect and take the right precautions.<\/p>\n

    If you have a mild illness,\u00a0 most top resorts have their own doctors on-site.<\/p>\n

    If they don’t, there are excellent small medical practices at some pharmacies that you can visit.<\/p>\n

    Call 911 in an emergency or seek treatment at a large public or private health facility for more serious problems.<\/p>\n

    4-5* resorts will go above and beyond to assist you in finding the right care.<\/p>\n

    \"the<\/p>\n

    Some hospitals will deal directly with insurance companies, whereas others won’t.<\/p>\n

    So, be prepared to pay for treatment and claim the cost back on your insurance.<\/p>\n

    Finally…<\/p>\n

    Just to say that most of our team have previous experience with the Mexican healthcare system<\/strong>, and it’s excellent.<\/p>\n

    We’ve had our babies there<\/strong>, gone in for operations – you name it, we’ve been there!<\/p>\n

    We will, of course, also be on hand to help with emergencies and recommend the top hospitals if you are unlucky enough to need them on your next trip.<\/p>\n

    Having good insurance in place is important and can give you peace of mind…which brings me to my next point.<\/p>\n

    Do I need travel insurance to travel to Mexico?<\/h3>\n

    No rules state you need travel insurance to attend a destination wedding in Mexico<\/strong>, and no one will check for insurance.<\/p>\n

    However, having a policy in place is a good idea.<\/p>\n

    It’s especially important to check you have health coverage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Most health insurance in the US doesn’t include coverage outside the country; if coverage is provided, it’s usually limited.<\/p>\n

    So always check you have health coverage in place before you travel.<\/p>\n

    \"a<\/p>\n

    There are many different policies to choose from<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Some have travel medical insurance up to $500,000, but you may decide on lower coverage of around $50,000.<\/p>\n

    If you have a policy, you can claim back expenses you incur if you’re unlucky enough to fall ill during your trip.<\/p>\n

    Your policy should also include contact details for a 24\/7 emergency travel assistance provider<\/strong> who can help you with the logistics of finding a healthcare provider.<\/p>\n

    You don’t have to pay a fortune for travel insurance that includes health coverage, and you can also get coverage including trip cancellation, trip delay, and trip interruption, which are all super useful if unforeseen circumstances happen.<\/p>\n
