Member Living in Lake Chapala, Mexico Needs Urgent Medical Treatment in US

While my husband and I were in Mexico, where we live, he was suddenly unable to empty his bladder. I took him to a nearby hospital and the urologist diagnosed him with acute blockage of the urethra. He was catheterized and

given a prescription for antibiotics and the doctor then recommended Denis stay overnight and have the procedure immediately the next morning.

He gave us an estimated cost and after we thought about it we realized Medicare would cover the procedure. We called SkyMed to find out if they would fly us to Houston, Texas so Denis could have it done there. They said yes and as soon as the doctor confirmed Denis was stable to fly, SkyMed arranged our flight to Houston.

How did you find out about SkyMed and why did you choose SkyMed?  We attended a SkyMed seminar many years ago and were impressed by what we heard. We knew it would complement our health insurance plans perfectly so we signed up.

What would you tell your friends about your experience with SkyMed?  We were very impressed by the efficiency and care from the people we encountered at SkyMed. Mr. Latimer was very helpful with scheduling our flight tickets and we felt we were in good hands for the entire duration of this unfortunate event.

Denis is gradually getting back to normal since the surgery and we have told as many friends as would listen to us about our experience. Two Canadian couples we know are seriously considering joining. Thank you, SkyMed, for taking such good care of us!
