In Mexico phone numbers have 10 digits and they use the same international format (city code + phone number). The country code for Mexico is 52.

•Before leaving Mexico, check your destination country’s entry requirements, including any declarations or documents needed upon arrival.

Currency

•In Mexico the currency is the Mexican peso. To get the best exchange rate we suggest you to do it at the airport, currency exchange booths, ATM or at any Mexican bank.
•Most clinics, attractions and restaurants accept dollars but the exchange rate will be very low.
•If you're paying with a credit or debit card it is normal to ask for the payment terminal and they will process the payment in front of the customer. In restaurants, you can add a tip during this process or opt to leave it in cash.
•When paying or withdrawing money in Mexico from your debit or credit card, its common that the payment terminal or ATM will ask if you want the transaction in local currency (MXN) or your home currency, we suggest selecting your home currency, that way your bank will determine the exchange rate.
•Prices in Mexico are up to 80% lower with the same level of quality and technology, this has to do directly with the currency and additional taxes. The dollar has a higher purchase level than the Mexican Peso, which makes your dollar stretch a lot further in Mexico than in the U.S. that’s another factor that helps to make prices in Mexico lower with similar quality.
•The cost of living in Mexico is much lower, food, utilities, wages, and professional services have a much lower hourly rate that translates to lower prices that visitors can appreciate, and finally, Mexico international tax rate (tarifas) are lower those savings impact directly on the prices of products. You can find the same brand product in Mexico at a lower price than in your country of origin. All those situations help to make Mexico a top Medical destination where excellent quality meets with affordable prices.
