Canada Reciprocal Health Agreements
Is there a list somewhere? Please let me know if it is the provinces that are responsible, because I know that it is the provincial government, not the federal government, that provides health care to Canadians. Typically, a three-month waiting period is applied before coverage is restored. For more information on the requirements and conditions for restoring health insurance coverage, please contact the Ministry of Health of the province or region to which you wish to return. Since the provinces and territories, rather than the federal government, are primarily responsible for the management, delivery of health services and management of health resources, you should contact your local provincial or territorial Department of Health – telephone numbers and websites can be found on the back of the current Annual Report of the Canada Health Act. You can also contact the College of Physicians and Surgeons in your province or territory, which is the body that regulates the accreditation and behaviour of physicians. Links to each provincial and territorial medical regulatory body can be found on the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada website. Residents who move from one province or territory to another will continue to be covered by their “home province”/territory for a minimum waiting period of up to three months imposed by the new province or territory of residence. At the end of the waiting period, the new province/area of residence will cover your health insurance. Canadian provinces have a reciprocal agreement that allows them to bill each other for care for Canadians travelling outside their home province. This agreement allows you to present your province`s health card in any Canadian province to get coverage. The most notable exception is Quebec, which does not have a mutual agreement with another province; You must pay for the services in advance and request a refund. The same applies to travel outside of Canada, where no agreements are available and travellers are responsible for all applicable medical bills. The basics of provincial travel coverage vary slightly by country of residence.
Here are some of the things you can expect from your province. Our national health insurance program is designed to ensure that all insured persons have access to medically necessary hospital and medical services on a prepaid basis. The Canadian Health Care Act defines insured persons as residents of a province. In addition, the provision of “ancillary services” (e.g.B. prescription drugs, land and air rescue services) that provinces and territories may include in their respective health insurance plans is generally not transferable outside the province or territory of origin. Most private health insurance policies cover ambulance services, prescription drugs and other additional services provided outside the province or territory of origin. Therefore, you may want to purchase private insurance for these services before leaving your home province/home country to ensure adequate coverage. Here is a list of provincial health websites and some examples of what Alberta and Ontario offer you outside the country. A number of services provided by hospitals and physicians are not considered medically necessary and are not covered by provincial and territorial health insurance. Non-insured hospital services that may be charged to patients include preferred hospital accommodation unless prescribed by a physician. private care services; and the supply of telephones and televisions. Non-insured medical services that may be charged to patients include telephone renewal of the prescription; the issuance of medical certificates necessary for work, school, insurance and fitness club purposes; testimony in court; and cosmetic services.
Canada has a publicly funded and managed health care system that provides universal coverage for all Canadians. Visitors have access to the system, but the cost of medical treatment can be very high. Since there are no reciprocal health agreements between Canada and Australia, it is important to have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment during a visit to Canada, even for short stays. For emergency medical care, visitors can head to the emergency room of a nearby hospital or to one of the many walk-in clinics where no appointments are required. .
