If an American citizen requires emergency or inpatient hospital care while visiting Canada, they will receive prompt, high-standard medical treatment at any public hospital, but they will not be covered by Canada's public healthcare system. Because standard U.S. health insurance policies rarely extend routine coverage into Canada, uninsured or underinsured American patients are billed 100 percent out of pocket for all physician fees, diagnostic imaging, and hospital daily room charges. These emergency medical costs can quickly accumulate into thousands of dollars unless covered by an active private travel insurance policy.
