If an American citizen needs medical care while visiting Canada, they can receive prompt, high-quality treatment at any public hospital or walk-in clinic, but they will not be covered by Canada's public healthcare system. Because domestic U.S. health insurance plans rarely extend routine coverage into Canada, uninsured American patients are billed 100 percent out of pocket for all physician fees, diagnostic tests, and emergency room services, with hospital daily room fees running into thousands of dollars unless covered by private travel insurance.
