If a United States citizen needs medical care while visiting Canada, they can access world-class treatment at any public hospital or medical clinic, but they will not be covered by Canada's public Medicare system. Because domestic U.S. health insurance plans rarely cover routine foreign medical care, uninsured American visitors must pay out of pocket for all physician fees, diagnostic tests, prescriptions, and emergency room services. These costs can scale rapidly into thousands of dollars unless the traveler holds an active private travel medical insurance policy.
