If I get sick when I’m travelling, won’t my Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan pay for my medical expenses?
Alberta Health Care provides only limited coverage for medical treatment and hospital costs outside of Canada. If you are injured or become ill while abroad, government plans may pay only a portion of your medical bills. Substantial medical bills, amounting to thousands of dollars, may have to be paid out of your own pocket.
