When a foreign tourist gets sick in Canada, they can seek immediate medical attention at any local walk-in clinic, urgent care facility, or hospital emergency department. They will receive necessary clinical care, but because they lack provincial health insurance coverage, they will be billed commercial rates for all medical services rendered. These bills can quickly accumulate into thousands of dollars for hospital admissions or specialized treatments. Tourists with private travel insurance must submit their medical receipts and documentation to their insurer for financial reimbursement.
