Medical insurance in Canada for HT trip?

[xt22]

I was wondering if it is generally recommended for people from outside Canada to buy health insurance in Canada when visiting for Hair Transplant procedure. I know that medical insurance will not pay for any of the cost of HT but was wondering more from the point of view of whether a medical insurance would be needed if something were to go wrong in a major way during HT and had to be hospitalized or something like that, What are the odds of some such thing and what is the general practice by people outside Canada that go there for HT. Can someone please comment?

My initial inclination would be that it would not be covered because the mishap was directly related to having an elective cosmetic procedure.

 

The best thing to do would be to call your insurance provider directly for more clarification. That won't cost you anything nor will it hurt you in any way to ask.
