flag Many Canadians face massive medical bills abroad due to travel insurance gaps, especially for pre-existing conditions, despite awareness of high costs.

flag A Blue Cross survey finds 83% of Canadians know an overseas ER visit can exceed $3,600, yet many face huge medical bills due to gaps in travel insurance, especially related to pre-existing conditions. flag As Canadians shift travel plans from the U.S. to destinations like the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, and Asia, experts warn that undisclosed health issues—such as in a 90-year-old woman billed $290,000 after a cardiac arrest in Florida—can lead to denied claims. flag Despite rising use of AI tools for trip planning and insurance comparisons, officials stress that AI cannot replace careful policy review, full disclosure of medical conditions, and pre-travel consultation with insurers. flag Nearly half of Canadian travelers now use AI, but personal responsibility remains key to avoiding financial ruin abroad.
