MRI Costs
Imagen in Tijuana charged me about $400 U.S. for an MRI about four years ago.
If my information is correct, an MRI the U.S. costs way upward of $2,000 U.S.

Chrissy: I know this is all very hard on you, it's a big responsibility and I am sure you worry about your dad not having any US Insurance. Your
father must have had faith in the Seguro Popular for him to have taken that insurance out in case of a catastrophe. You do what you feel is right,
maybe talk to Cristina if you can. We would all love to see him in a US hospital I think mostly because they don't play games about money being paid
up front and he would get excellent, immediate care. Good luck and hang in there. We all want what's best for you dad as well.

What is the phone number at the Hospital where Ron is?
A name if available would help - and I will call Carol at Discover Baja and see if she will call and tell them a significant amount is headed that
way.

D.A.N. apparently will airlift you from any spot in Baja (and eslewhere presumably)
costs around $55 a year
for divers, but anyone can be a member
I just haven't had a chance to check it out thoroughly |
Dan is excellent worldwide medevac ins. and although it was started for the diving community, their service is open to all. $45 to $55 a year for the
whole family.
I would think that DAN
http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/
coupled with
http://www.binationalemergency.org/membership.html
would cover most any emergency in Mexico.
Just my $.02

i called Carol and she called the hospital and they gave her an account where she could send the money today and sirena said they were going to
operate this afternoon so you need to call Laura or Sirena if you want to transfer him to General.

I can't believe it - but I asked a friend and this is in fact customary - pay first is the rule here in Mexico....that being said, I have drafted a
note to the governor that all of you can send to his email...My Mexican friends say that this will put pressure on the governor to do the right
thing...

Hi Shari - if serena has Telcel or Movistar, can't anyone go to a local Telcel or Movistar office and pay for time to be put on her phone, thereby
giving her more than 99 pesos at a time?
Of course that would only pertain to those of us in Mexico - not sure if it can be online or not.

I posted the translation too soon and it got lost in limbo, so I summarize:
mr governor
mr hoss, american, and his wife were attacked by thieves inthe town of san quintin. he is currently in serious condition at the sanatorio xxxx. we ask
that you intercede on his behalf to guarantee he get first class treatment.
be sure to put your name at the bottom and the governor's email address is:

This is a private hospital. They owe nobody anything. The government has no control over this if it isn't a life threatning situation.....which a
broken jaw is not.
