Out of province, country, medical ; we have a reminder from a source that ambulance is not covered in other provinces  by the medical services plan.  When traveling always be sure of coverage as treatment may not be forth coming without payment arrangements.

Plans like Blue Cross in Alberta can give you security from ambulance bills of thousands of dollars. You may have something from your employer in the form of extended health.

This is not a solicitation ,it is a newsworthy item.
