Hi,

Well I am off, finally, in a little over 30 hours, so here is some info I have gathered about the costs of Medical insurance in BC for the first 30 Days.

This is all based on a single, 43 year old male in good health.

It is my understanding that all the quotes below include all applicable taxes

Canada Life - 1-800-680-3837
Coverage / Cost
15000 / $209.30
25000 / $240.24
50000 / $270.27
100000 / $390.39
150000 / $510.51

Trent Health - 1-800-216-3588
Plan Name: EXPAT
Coverage / Cost
100000 / $294.00

Manulife Financial - 1-800-268-3763
25000 / $223.20
50000 / $249.30
100000 / $385.20
150000 / $501.30
This plan also allow 30 days cover in US

Canada Travel Insurance - 1-800-474-4474
Appears to be a broker for Manulife
Coverage / Cost
25000 / $230.64
50000 / $257.61
100000 / $398.04
150000 / $518.01
This plan allows for trips up to 5 days in the US

Blue Cross Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance Plan - 1-800-873-2583
Coverage / Cost
100000 / $328

I was advised that coverage of $50000 was more that adequate in Canada, but way under what was required for the US. One broker told me of a client that recently had a heart attack in the US and was charged US$10,000 per minute for CPR and had 20 minutes worth. :scared:

As I'm heading to the US only a few days after arriving, I guess I'll need a US travel policy.

Hope this is of some help to those about to head off.

Good Luck

Hi

Are these quotes per year and just for yourself, any idea how much it costs for a family of 3 in Ontario. (roughly).
