Some credit cards offer their holders health and travel insurance.
Do not assume the card alone provides adequate coverage. Pays foreign hospital and related medical costs and, if so, whether it pays up front or expects you to pay and be reimbursed later. Provides for your medical evacuation to Canada. Excludes pre-existing medical conditions. If such conditions exist, notify your insurance company and get an agreement in writing that you are covered for these conditions.
