Temporary medical insurance while in Canada for 6 weeks

Any suggestions on who to contact for temporary medical insurance while in Canada for 6 weeks this summer?

    Medicare doesn't cover Canada (with a few exceptions), but your supplement might. Have to read the coverage details.
  • The last time I checked (years ago) my health insurance was good in canada. Judging by the question that must not always be that way. Maybe I should check again.
  • Just sat in on a seminar on Seven Corners International Travel Insurance 877-202-4176. Travel and medical assistance.

    I have bought short-term medical insurance for out-of-country travel from them in the past. But, I've never had to use it, so can't say how well it works when needed.

    Regards.
