To satisfy my own curiosity I just called the major tertiary care facility in BC's lower mainland...one of the one's you get flown to if emergency care is required...and talked to their Finance/Billing people.
No hospital in BC, so likely in Canada, has a US tax number, and as a result, are not in the 'Health Insurance Network' so not able to bill any US health insurance carrier. The person has to pay, up front. Cash or credit card. Then claim reimbursement from your carrier.
