I been working without it for quite a while and can't figure out if I'm covered by OHIP or not? Looking at the Ontario Health website I seem to be covered so why would I need extra coverage? They say I need to purchase additional ins. and in the next paragraph say I'm already covered?
Anyone from Ontario have experience getting injured or ill outside of Ontario? Guess I should just ask my employer but I don't know if they know and don't really trust them for a honest answer.
out of country health ins.

I had an incident in Texas many years ago where I needed a prescription,and when I filed the claim with the insurance company they refused to pay because they said the prescription could have been purchased in Ontario. Well Duh...if I'd have been in Ontario I would have done that.
Needless to say I no longer use that company. -
i had to hit an er in the us a few years ago---the bill was around 35oo --i had sk insurance --and sk figured there portion to pay was $25.00--thank god i had global ins--they bargained the bill down to $2800 with the hospital--and it was paid--of course then the hospital came after me for the remainder after --after agreeing for a 2800 payout---they are still waiting--and i think they will wait a lot longer

ya ok I definitely need this then.
I'been driving for like 5 years without it and no employer has said #### to me, maybe they just ###-u-me or don't care.
What kind of cost am I looking at, one ins. co. wants 57 dollars for a year another 90 dollars, does that sound boot right for a year? Emergency medical coverage.Last edited: Apr 23, 2011

Check with Blue Cross. You can do an online quote, or speak to someone.
I did a quick quote for a 45-year-old person from Ontario.
