You receive basic health care from your provincial plan within Canada. The costs of standard hospital ward accommodation, Medical Doctors’ fees and some other services are covered by your provincial plan.
Extended Health Care coverage provided by the Writers’ Coalition Program is intended to supplement, not replace, your provincial plan.
For your own insurance protection, please ensure that your provincial health care coverage is always in effect.
When you are Traveling or Residing Temporarily Outside your Province of Residence
AFBS does not provide hospital or medical coverage, including Medical Doctors’ fees, for insured members who are traveling or residing temporarily outside their province of residence.
Please ensure that you have purchased or have appropriate hospital and medical coverage for yourself and your family if you plan to be outside of your province of residence.
