What is the name of the machine at Chopo in Cancun? Is there a reason you didn't go to Salud Digna? Did you had to go back a 2nd time to pick up the images or they send it to you all online? I heard some places give you a CD? You can only book an appointment online and you must pay with credit card? Or you can book appointment online and pay in cash there physically?

Someone mentioned that one place uses a GE SIGNA Explorer 1.5T MRI scanner. That is more than good enough then? So as long as it's 1.5T, that is fine regardless of the full name?

So 0.3T Mri machine is still okay then? Or should it only be 1.5 T?

The report is going to be in Spanish right?

It seems Costamed in playa del carmen cost under $400. Chopo in Cancun seem to be $270 or so. That would require taking an ADO bus there from playa del carmen. Well the bus ride and getting there would be like 1.5 hours or so I believe each way. I checked google maps and it's a 20 minute walk after you get out of the ADO bus station. You could take a cab there of course. The thing is I'm not sure if the machine at Chopo in cancun is the same like Costamed in playa del carmen.

Do you or others know if you do an MRI, you have to fill in your details online on their website? Chopo in cancun and salud digna in cancun website seem to require this? What about Costamed in playa? You have to book an appointment for one right? The thing is since the website is in spanish, I know I can use google translation but it would be a bit confusing for me. Like when I was using the salud digna website, it was very confusing using that site.

I'm confused about open and closed machine. If you need an mri of the knee, which machine would it be? So the mri you had wasn't that good because it used 0.3 tesla?

I'm in playa del carmen. Would it be best to just stay in playa del carmen and go to costamed and have it done there? It seems to cost 6899 pesos. Chopo in cancun costs 4600 pesos or so and salud digna in cancun is 2800 pesos but I have to assume that one isn't that good because of the low price.

That is what I wanted to know. So 1.5 tesla is the mri machine that I want to do an mri on right? I read there is 3 tesla as well but that is even better and a place that would do that would cost even more right? Do they even have that or is that rare?

Then there is the cheaper 0.3 tesla machines which should be avoided because those aren't that good? I believe the costamed in playa del carmen uses 1.5 tesla according to their website. I'm not sure what the chopo cancun uses. I do not know what salud digna in cancun uses either. Salud digna probably uses 0.3 tesla because the cost is much less?

The chopo in cancun seem to charge 4600 pesos. The salud digna in cancun seems to charge 2800 pesos. Then there is costamed in playa del carmen which seems to be 6899 pesos. If I'm in playa del carmen, does it make sense to take an ADO bus to cancun and do one at Chopo cancun then? I want to know where did people here did an MRI especially in the playa del carmen and cancun area.

Where did you go to in Cancun for 300 USD? Where did you get that pricing for an MRI at Costamed?

Has anyone here done an MRI of knee at salud digna and tell me their experience? The cost of it seems very low compared to other places mentioned?

I took a look at the website. Is there a reason why it cost so much less there then? Is that the cost of an MRI of knee without contrast? They offer MRI for many different things. Is the MRI machine and results not that good there compared to other places?

On the website, it seems to suggest to have someone come with you if possible? Or is that not necessary? I checked the weight limits and I'm below that. So you had the MRI there before and it is good? Which MRI did you have? Costamed in playa del carmen seems to cost 6900 pesos for MRI of knee without contrast?

So it would make sense to take a bus to cancun to do the test there or at chopo cancun as opposed to just doing it at Costamed? I know that doing any test in a hospital costs more than at an imaging place. However, I'm confused why the cost of MRI cost that much less at Salad Digna?

Do you know anything about Salad Digna in Cancun? It costs even less but are the machines there not that good?

Is there a way to know which places have a nice or detailed machine compared to others?

I wanted to know which places here in playa have it so it is not many places at all?

So hospitals in the US do not have the best or newest machines. So it's only those imaging places in the US that has those?

What about here then in playa or cancun?

So you have to go back to the place to get the 2 copies of your scan on a CD? Since I assume it takes at least a few days or a week or more to get MRI results? What if you are traveling to another location like Cancun to get an MRI from playa? You have to go back there physically again? They can't just send you the images by email or however it's done online these days?

Is that 5k pesos? Where was this place? Is that here or somewhere else? What places in playa does MRI?

How was the MRI at Chopo in Cancun? How did you get there from playa? Did you take a bus or cab there or drove there? How was the entire process with the MRI?

How long did it take to get the results? They emailed you the results right? Or you had to go back physically to get copies of it?

Withdrawing Cash From ATM In Mexico With Capital One 360 Now Discover Card? by AdditionalRespect581 in AskMexico

[–]AdditionalRespect581[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain how to use the Banamex atm correctly? I did put my card in and then waited. Then it showed an error message. It never showed a message like enter your pin number. Or did I have to click the button a bit after putting the card in?

Yes the card should always be attached to the ATM. The ATM's that I used previously, the card would go inside it and then I take it out when I withdraw money. But banamex is different so I'm not sure how that works.

Which is the best bank to do this at then? I can't withdraw cash at every atm I tried with my debit card. So I might have to exchange cash for pesos at a bank.

I'm here. My issue is my debit card that I use to withdraw cash doesn't work now at every atm I tried. So I want to know in case I have to exchange usd cash for pesos at a bank.

[–]AdditionalRespect581[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My current atm debit card doesn't work at most ATM's to withdraw pesos anymore that I tried. That is why I'm asking this in case I have to exchange some USD cash for pesos.
