Check local eligibility
Public health coverage is administered provincially and territorially. Apply to the relevant plan, check the start date and understand which services are excluded.
Plan for gaps
Ask the health plan about waiting periods and coverage during travel. Compare any temporary coverage against your actual needs and exclusions. Keep emergency contacts handy.
