The coverage exists but it's not as broad as some might think from your statement.  Plus it's limited to a $50k lifetime maximum and you have coverage for only ~60 days.  The summer when we spent 3 months in Canada we came back to Maine and documented that fact to make sure that we could restart the "60 day clock."

This is from a Medicare document:

Medigap plans C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, M, and N pay 80% of the billed charges for certain medically necessary emergency care outside the U.S. after you meet a $250 deductible for the year. These Medigap policies cover foreign travel emergency care if it begins during the first 60 days of your trip, and if Medicare doesn’t otherwise cover the care. Foreign travel emergency coverage with Medigap policies has a lifetime limit of $50,000.

Thanks.

In today’s environment $50,000. In medical expenses for an emergency is just the starting point.

We have exceptional BC/BS coverage and I was told it would not cover us outside of the USA. Thus my quest to find some form of emergency medical insurance. Enough to cover costs until you can be evacuated to the USA.

What are US Citizens traveling in Canada using for Emergency Medical Coverage, while traveling in Canada?

Now that cross border travel is permitted, we would like to spend several months traveling Canada this Summer. Our one major concern is “Heath Care Coverage”. Neither Medicare or Blue Cross, Blue Shield provide coverage outside of the USA. 
We do have “Emergency Evacuation” coverage via FMCA and Coach Net. But want to have some form of Emergency hospitalization and medical coverage in addition.
