Travelling to Canada for 3 months - where can I get health insurance to cover me? |
Travel Info Hi...I'm leaving Australia shortly to spend at least 3 months in Canada. I will have no health insurance in Canada unless/until I spend 3 months in a province I think. I've looked into travel insurance and most only seem to cover accidents etc, but I want one that covers health generally, so if I get sick, I can see a Doctor. Any idea where I can get this? Thanks Travel Tips Try Blue Cross (or Blue Cross/Blue Shield). They're an international organization, with a lot of coverage for North America in general (including Canada and the US). It's what we use when traveling, regardless of where we're going int he world. The link ties you to the Canadian arm of Blue Cross ... which makes sense, since that's where you're headed.

You might look at the following link for ideas of companies that do offer health insurance for travelers. http://search.yahoo.com/search?search=he... try kanetix.ca They can give you quotes on-line. I would definitely look at blue cross. My friend's husband is an american and got better health coverage with that here than he could in his own country. CanTexan is right on the money. Blue Cross Try Squaremouth. Its a USA based comparison website that specializes in long term medical for any nationality traveling outside their home country. http://www.squaremouth.com/visitors-insu...
