keep all bills, and then get reimbursed when back in BC. BC medical will not cover some things such as an ambulance pick up. When you are in the
States you will be grossly underinsured. But if you are injured in a vehicle accident, ICBC should cover you, right? |
I'm in Alberta.....but i think all Vehicle insurance plans will not cover a vehicle in Mexico...I know mine doesn't and when i was resident of BC,
ICBC didn't.
Alberta Health care only covers a small amount, hence the buying extra insurance, even if you vacation in the US. My private insurance for Mexico
will cover evacuation. That is the policy thru Alberta Motor Association.
