Health insurance in Canada: how to get it<\/p><\/div>\n

Canada has accepted over 230 thousand Ukrainian citizens seeking refuge from the war. Refugees<\/a> have been able to use medical services in this country, but this process has its differences.<\/p>\n

One of the key documents is health insurance. Health Insurance Card – a state health insurance card. This document makes it possible to receive about 70% of medical services free of charge. Each card must include the holder’s photo, signature, insurance number, and residential address.<\/p>\n

The card is issued to every family member, including even small children. It is advisable to take out this insurance as soon as possible after your arrival in Canada<\/a>. To do this, you should contact the organization that issues such cards in the province where you have settled.<\/p>\n

State health insurance allows you to visit a family doctor and receive medical care at any hospital in Canada. Most services are free for the patient and billed to the state. Government funding includes:<\/p>\n

  • vaccination;<\/li>\n
  • most surgeries (including appendicitis, tumor removal, etc.);<\/li>\n
  • pregnancy and childbirth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You will have to pay separately for the services of a dentist (except for emergency surgery), ophthalmologist, psychologist, cosmetologist, rehabilitation therapist, physiotherapist, etc. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
