Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself:

• Check your existing coverage and its limitations. You may have supplementary benefits through a union or employer group plan.
• See your travel/insurance agent, to arrange for extra health care coverage. Consider trip cancellation coverage, medical and hospital fees, ambulance and other medical travel. Be sure you and your family are covered for illness and disability as well as accidents.
• Check your health care insurance card to make sure information is accurate. If it is not, contact the Health Services Branch before you go.
• Make sure you carry your extra insurance policies with you.
