Quick Answers for Your Alberta Trip
We believe in providing clear and efficient answers to help you make a smart choice. Here are the most common questions we get about travel insurance for going to Alberta.
​
Is Alberta's healthcare free for visitors?
No. The Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) is for residents only. As a visitor, you are personally responsible for the full cost of any medical services you receive, which can be very expensive.
​
What does Alberta travel medical insurance cover?
A good visitor insurance policy is designed to cover unexpected medical emergencies. This typically includes:
-
Emergency room and hospital fees
-
Appointments with a physician
-
Ambulance services
-
Prescription medications required for an emergency
​
I'm also visiting British Columbia. Do I need a separate policy?
That's a great question. Your visitor insurance policy isn't just limited to one province. When you buy travel insurance in Canada for your trip, it covers you across the country for the entire duration of your policy, giving you the freedom to explore from coast to coast.
​
How quickly can I get a quote and my documents?
The process is fast and efficient. You can get a free, no-obligation quote online in just a couple of minutes. Once you purchase a plan, your official policy documents are delivered directly to your email, ready for you to print or save to your phone.
