2. When expats are registered with IMSS, it will cover them for healthcare services as well as salary payments in case of major accident or illness. If you have been accepted into the program, you will be issued a card. Make sure you carry the card every time you visit the doctor. In Mexico, the entire National Health System falls under the Ministry of Health regulation. The government provides Seguro Popular to individuals who are not covered under IMSS or any other private coverage. If you plan on living in Mexico full time and become a legal resident, then you can apply for this healthcare insurance program.
