If you are in an accident or become ill while traveling outside Yukon and need air or ground ambulance services, please note that your Yukon Health Care Insurance Plan does not provide coverage for these services, or for the cost of any related services such as hospital transfer, escorts, and return transportation charges.  Even if you are making a day trip to Skagway, Alaska or Atlin, B.C., you should visit your insurance agent to make sure you have adequate health care insurance.
 
Travel must originate in Yukon in order to be eligible for medical travel benefits.
 
Regardless of where you go in the world, if you maintain your Yukon residency and your registration with the Yukon Health Care Insurance Plan, you have basic coverage for medically necessary hospital and physician services. However, there are limitations to the coverage which you should know about before you begin your journey.
