The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) offers the possibility to register family members in its Family Health Insurance through an online process that requires an annual payment. By enrolling a family member in IMSS, benefits such as medical, pharmaceutical, and hospital assistance in cases of emergency or illness are obtained.
The Family Health Insurance of IMSS is an option for Mexican workers who do not have another security scheme, including those abroad. It is important to know the services offered by this insurance, which range from medical and surgical assistance to help during maternity.
The requirements to enroll a family member in IMSS include that the person does not have another security scheme and does not have pre-existing conditions. It is essential to be aware of the annual costs per person, which vary depending on age.
The registration process in the Family Health Insurance involves going to the corresponding IMSS sub-delegation, presenting the required documentation, and making the payment. There is also the option to complete the process online through the IMSS citizen portal.
It is important to note that there are cases where enrollment is not allowed, mainly if the person has certain pre-existing conditions or specific medical conditions that require a waiting period before being eligible for insurance. Additionally, some services such as cosmetic surgery and treatment of chronic conditions are not covered by the Family Health Insurance.
