  • My health insurance covers me. It's just considered "out of network" coverage so it has higher deductibles and copays.
  • Depends on what you have for insurance in your home country.
    I have a private medicare insurance supplement that covers me in Canada.
    You I do not know about
  • If it's an emergency your regular insurance will cover it. If not, the clinics are very reasonable with excellent care. I had an issue in Jasper and the clinic physician wanted to see me twice during our short stay and even called as we were traveling to see how I was. Unless you're spending many months there I wouldn't worry about it.
