I am hoping someone can provide me; a Newbie, information on what type of Health Coverage a driver should have, to be driving regularily in The United States. I know my Ontario Health Insurance only covers a bare minimum. i would appreciate any suggestions!

I had a Canadian driver tell me he has a supplemental policy for while he is in the U.S. that costs him $80.00 per year.

I wonder how it works the other way around? I never thought about it.
Very good question, but I don't know either.
Maybe ask your company? -
However, since they deny claims in the states almost 100% of the time, then the coverage will be just as valuable as nothing.Last edited: Aug 7, 2010

with any half decent company -you should get a global health coverage----think mine was thru great west---the provincial coverage sucks--on a 3500 dollar bill my sk coverage covered 50 of it great west bartered it down to about 2400 with the hospital--and i got notice of paid in full--but then hospital sent the remainder to collections to try and get it out of me--funny part is--i am now covered by that hospitals insurance cause my wife works there--regardless of my rambling---most companys offer their drivers on road coverage

Ya know, common sense would tell me, that a Canadian driver that had medical problems while in the U.S. would be covered. What I mean is, that he could get medical services as needed, and then the medical facility would bill the Canadian Gov, or whoever administers the Ca. health plan.. But that would make sense.
It's not like an emergency hasn't happened to a "Foreign" driver on either side of the border. -

Hey canuck, I'm a bit confused, I think your user name did it to me!
Are you U.S. or Ca.
