Moving to Baja for the next year. Does anyone have any suggestions about good medical insurance companies?

Not too expensive.
Doctors will actually take the insurance.
Reasonable deductable.

Thanks!

Pam. Not sure this would work for him. If he is moving to Baja to live, the World policy has a one year limit, according to what I could read on their Int'l website. I would inquire at the community (if large enough) to see if there is a company that would represent that area. Ex: If alot of gringo's were living in that area, I'd ask them direct what they are using. We spend up to 5 months in Loreto/Nopolo and we self insure, and have Mercy Flight insurance. And we use Dr. Fernando at the clinic. He also makes house calls. Think positive and you'll never get sick. Right????? Yeah right!!!!
