Reimbursement for physician services will be made in Canadian funds and payment will not exceed the amount payable had the same services been performed in B.C. Any excess cost is the responsibility of the beneficiary.
If medical care is not provided by a physician, or if you require a prescription or ambulance service while you are in another province or outside Canada, you will be charged the full cost for any medical service provided by the health care practitioner (non-physician), prescription or ambulance service. Fees can often range from several hundred to several thousand dollars and your costs will not be reimbursed by the Ministry of Health.
Although the province does provide some coverage for emergency hospital care when you travel outside Canada, the province limits coverage to a maximum daily payment of $75.00, in Canadian funds.
