Mex, if this is a Federal law, then any doctor should comply. No matter what hospital he is in. There could be separate hospital charges of course, especially in case of private hospital. Do you have any link to that law?
Amerimed Hospital in Cabo I mentioned not because of quality, but because it's on the PPN that provides direct payment to hospital. It's a membership plan for expats distributed from Guadalajara, low group rates, very high deductible. They have PPN in both US and Mexico, but no participating hospitals anywhere in Baja, except for Cabo where us mortals don't camp. A plan like this implies that you "live" in Mexico, status doesn't matter but you must have a semi-permanent address where you stay, say, a winter every year.
This is the only plan of this kind that I could find. The trend is new, hopefully more plans will come in future. Here is their PPN. Highlighted red is GDL because this is where that Focus group is based. Like all the gringos live in Chapala area. I feel claustrophobic in places like that :)
"Best Doctors Inc" is just a pretentious brand name, don't try to read too much into this.
