Medical Insurance in Canada:

The health care insurance program for each Canadian province, known as Medicare, covers the cost of basic medical treatment. What is covered by Medicare and what is excluded varies from province to province.

Medicare inclusions

Typically the following health care services are covered by Medicare:

Ÿ   Most examinations and treatment by doctors (general practitioners as well as specialists)

Ÿ   Many types of surgery

Ÿ   Hospital care

Ÿ   X-rays

Ÿ   Many laboratory tests

Ÿ   Most vaccinations for children

Medicare exclusions

Usually Medicare does not cover the following health care services:

Ÿ   Ambulance services

Ÿ   Prescription drugs administered outside of a hospital setting (i.e. drugs that your doctor prescribes and that you purchase from a pharmacy -- note that this includes insulin for diabetics)

Ÿ   Dental care

Ÿ   Glasses and contact lenses

Ÿ   Non-essential surgical procedures (the exact list varies from province to province, but may include certain types of cosmetic surgery, etc. )

But please remember that these lists vary from province to province, and you need to clarify what Medicare does and does not cover in the province to which you will be moving.
