OHIP and MSP BC Abroad: A Guide for Canadian Expats in Mexico MEXICO: 01 (800) 681-9396 US / CA: 1 (888) 449-7799 Email: info@lakemedicalgroup.com www.lakemedialgroup.com Understanding OHIP and MSP BC Coverage Abroad OHIP Coverage Abroad: The OHIP provides health coverage for eligible Ontario residents, but its coverage is restricted when residing outside the province. While short trips are usually covered, extended stays abroad may impact your OHIP coverage. It's crucial to inform the Ministry of Health about your plans and ensure you maintain your eligibility. MSP BC Coverage Abroad: Similarly, MSP BC provides health coverage for British Columbia residents. Like OHIP, coverage may be affected if you're outside the province for an extended period. Maintaining residency in BC is a key factor in determining MSP BC coverage. It's advised to inform Health Insurance BC about your relocation plans. Implications of Extended Stays Abroad: Extended stays outside Canada can lead to the loss of continuous coverage under provincial health plans. This may result in the need for private health insurance to cover healthcare expenses while abroad. Understanding the limitations of OHIP and MSP BC is crucial to avoid unexpected healthcare costs.
