Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social
Applies the ruleMexico's social security institute. It runs the contributory schemes, including the voluntary family health insurance a foreign resident can buy without an employer, and publishes its premium table and its conditions.
The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

It speaks for its own schemes and for nothing else. The general right of everyone in the country without social security to free public health care is in the Ley General de Salud and is administered by the states and by IMSS-Bienestar, a different body, so IMSS is not a source for entitlement to public health care generally. It also names the exclusion and waiting-period lists - RACERF articles 83 and 84 - without reproducing them, so a record built from IMSS alone can say that the lists exist and not what is on them.
