alflorida Report post Posted August 12, 2018 If you have Medicare and by Medicare Supplement Part F, it covers up to $50,000 in Canada. Basic Medicare "sort of says" if you are traveling directly though Canada they will cover your medical expenses. There is no written definition of how quickly you need to be traveling through Canada, say from the lower 48 to Alaska. There is info in the Medicare book about it. I assume you are over 65, since there is an "Over 70" bullet at the topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casuall454 Report post Posted December 17, 2018 My insurance plan with UHC is listed as a "rich plan", it requires me to notify prior to leaving US, they will cover me in Canada, not to exceed 30 days. Other counties are available, although I have only traveled to Mexico & Canada. Contact your insurance benefits and ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
