When you are travelling out of British Columbia, your provincial health insurance covers you based on BC fee schedules. Many jurisdictions (e.g. the United States) won't admit patients without proof of adequate medical cover; also much higher fees for medical services can be charged (one hour in an emergency room in the United States can cost as much as $10,000).
As you can see, the need to purchase Excess Travel Medical insurance is real. The cost and coverage depends on your age, your destination and the duration of your trip. Annual policies for those of you who take frequent trips out of the province. Please call us for a quotation.
