Does anyone have this health insurance? If so, have you been satisfied? Any other suggestions for people over 65, other than IMSS? Thanks!

I recently took out health insurance from Mariner´s. The application process took slightly over 3 months. It was incredibly frustrating and more than once I was ready to throw in the towel. I am 60 and in good health except for a cholestorel problem that is well managed with meds. The problem did not seem to be with the agent but with Seguro , which is the insurance company. I have not had an opportu nity to use it yet.... we´ll see if the company is better at responding to claims than they were with processing my application ( am I hoping for too much ? )

Well Cessna195guy, the question isn't the rates or the coverage. It's how well the insurance company responds if you (heaven forbid) actually need to make a claim. People here on the Lake have a lot of sad experience with what happens it you have to USE the insurance. By the way, do you own a Cessna 195? Love that plane but never owned one. A little rare these days, that bird.

Jaykay, I little history about myself, I was a real estate broker for more than 20 years in Arizona and moved to Mexico in 08 to work for Mexico's largest homebuilder, didn't work out. Long story short I bought an expat plan the same year, 11 months later I was in an accident and in both 09 & 2010 I racked up more than $200,000 in medical bills and they were paid like clock work. Everytime I needed help with my medical bills, someone, not only answered the phone but help as well as take the time to explain things. Anyway's since God spared my life on August 16th 2009 and I wasn't paralyzed either on that day, I decided that i was going to make the second chance I was given and use it wisely. I went to work for the insurance company and the broker who helped me. I have helped numerous clients with the claims process. I also take the time UP FRONT to educate everyone of my clients how the insurance industry works and how to go about submitting claims. All of my clients know that my phone is on 24/7 and if I don't answer you get a return call within a few hours, as I might be flying. The primary company I represent is IMG/IMGE. I also ask my clients lots of questions before I recommend a plan. I believe my experience and dealing with the insurance company for over a year, due to on going surgeries and lots of physical therapy has given me an education that no other insurance person has. I'm very passionate about what I do! I hope this answers your concern about paying claims.

I sold my 195 4 years ago today is a matter of fact, it's now in a private museum in Arizona.

Good response. Sad how rarely that happens. Usually, there is a lot of ducking around the point. If only everyone would just answer the concerns raised. Good luck. About the plane? I tried to buy a completely rebuilt Stearman from a guy in Washington state. At the last minute, he changed his mind. He said there was nothing he could do with the money that was as much fun as the plane.

Does anyone else have experience with Seguro through Mariner's Insurance? We are in the process of applying and the premiums seem to be good. We have checked out Alliance and Bupa as well.
