How should I pay?

[alicosani 0]

I wanted to know how some of you decided to pay in Mexico. I have an appointment to meet with the doctor and get initial blood work done on the 19th of this month and will then set up a surgery date in Monterrey with Dr. Graciano de la Fuente Reta.

I am paying with cash, obviously, but I wanted to know what to do because I have several options.

I can pay with dollars or,

I can pay with pesos or,

I can deposit into his bank account here in Texas.

What did you guys do??? Thanks guys.

Most doctors will specify how they want to be paid, but if it is not brought up, ASK before you go. Many credit cards have a huge (like 15%) surcharge when used in Mexico (Capital One and I believe AmEx do not do this but check).

I put down a deposit with my credit card and took a cashiers check (in USD) for the balance.

I realize a credit card was not one of the options you listed, but perhaps they will accept certain cards. Check to see. If you use a credit card in order to get points, just call ahead to the card company to make sure there is no large surcharge or to try to get any surcharge waived.

I also used CC for deposit them cashers. Check for balance

The doctor's firm should specify and in my case a cashiers check from my bank. This is not a problem just speak to your coordinator or doctor's firm they will assist you. Best wishes and good luck.

I wired the money into the account the company specified and gave me all the information to do so. They should really tell you.

I paid a 10% deposit on our debit card. When we arrived last Wednesday, I had the remaining balance in a cashiers check. No problem whatsoever.
