How Much Does a Craniotomy Cost in Mexico in 2026?

Craniotomy in Mexico costs $30,000 to $50,000 in September 2026, the country range Bookimed collects. Prices vary by the clinic, the package it quotes and what that package covers. Additional charges include an electrocardiogram, an online consultation with a neurosurgeon, a PET-CT with gallium 68(PSMA) and a tumor marker blood test, ranging from $50 to $3,800. Against the US at $80,000 to $160,000, Mexico's range saves 67% on median pricing. A single clinic's quote, however, can fall as low as $17,500, below the floor of the country range.
