Canadian Public / Private Travel Health Insurance – A Consumer’s ReportDecember 2010

Summary

Abstract from summary: The historical constructs of Canada’s universal health system have not required public insurance plans to acquire skills in reimbursement of health services based on risk of needing such services; this limits their ability to define “supplemental” cost. Risk-sharing arrangements are called for that recognizes the contribution of public and private travel health insurance sectors in serving the need for out-of-country emergency medical insurance. Were such risk-sharing arrangements to exist provinces would generate revenue from the sale of risk currently being incurred by private insurers. Given their insight of the morbidity of their citizens, provinces could market coverage of pre-existing conditions for an added premium creating further revenue. Citizens would have comfort in knowing that part of their premium goes to their provincial health system. Such arrangements should reduce rate of premium price increase and improve transportation home to their provincial health system, their family and their community, which is where most people want to be when they are recovering from an accident or sudden illness.
