elrich Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yes there are new rules concerning the IMSS renewal. No longer do you have the have your papers filled out in Chapala. You must go to Guadalajara with your paid papers from latest year. Also needed is your CURP number Passport or INM status and a utility bill for proof of address. All Must be original plus copies. You must present them in person and your picture will be taking at the desk. You can pick up your number on entering the building and they are located on the second floor when applying. My cost for this process was 7,700 pesos I am over 80 years old. Also new rulings in Chapala I was told I can no longer get a date for my next appointment at the desk. I will have to make a telephone call to schedule my next appointment. I hope there won't be mass confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Most of what you mentioned is not new, I am over 80 and paid 7,700pesos in Feb 2017 The info that Chapels clinic requires you to make a telephone call is new. However this maybe due to your circumstances , ie, the computer system is not yet load for 2018 appointments, this happened to me last year Thanks for sharing your experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 It is not Chapala clinic that made the appointment booking rule. It is system wide ( or at least for sure in this area). And you do not call the clinic. They will give you the 01-800 number to call. OR you can go on line and make your booking ---- reading Spanish helps in this instance. It's a frustrating web site and I've had some issues with it, but have made last two appts. this way and it DOES work. They require your CURP number and email address as part of the process, and once you make the appt. will confirm it by email. citamedicadigital.imss.gob.mx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I wonder how many Mexicans I see before and after my regular appointment have access to a computer or are computer literate, not many I suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcstroker Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 In the 10 plus years that my wife and I have been a member of IMSS we have never made an appointment to get renewed. We just go to Guadalajara. It certainly has sped up over the years. What used to take half a day is now done in under an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you refer to the OP, doing the renewal and new rules re: making appointments for local clinic are two unrelated topics. Please note this refers to local clinic levels only. Specialist appts. still have to be done via the clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
