Travel insurance
Canada offers some of the finest health care in the world. The problem is that, unless you are a Canadian citizen, it can be prohibitively expensive. It’s essential to purchase travel health insurance if your regular policy doesn’t cover you when you’re abroad.
Bring any medications you may need clearly labeled in their original containers. A signed, dated letter from your physician that describes all your medical conditions and medications, including generic names, is also a good idea.
If your health insurance does not cover you for medical expenses incurred abroad, it is worth considering taking out supplemental insurance. Check the website of Lonely Planet (www.lonelyplanet.com/travel_services/insurance/travel_insurance.cfm) for more information. Find out in advance if your insurance plan will make payments directly to providers or reimburse you later for overseas health expenditures.
