Services Covered Outside Ontario
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care recommends purchasing additional supplementary health insurance when travelling outside Ontario.
The following is an excerpt from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care website (April 2007):
Why get private insurance?
- Many health services outside Canada cost much more than coverage by OHIP. You are responsible for any difference in cost.
- Some health services are not insured by the ministry. You will have to pay the full costs for these services.
- An accident can happen to anyone, even during a very short business or recreational trip. Extra insurance should be purchased before you leave Ontario. Ask an insurance broker or insurance company for further explanation.
