Hello all. Known about this forum for a while but just decided to sign up.
My name is Stephen, i'm 24 and was diagnosed was type 1 diabetes in September last year. Being diagnosed with diabetes hasn't really changed much, I take care of myself a bit better and make sure not to skip meals. I was generally fairly healthy before diagnosis. I will not let it get in the way of me living my life!
On that note, I have a question. I am planning on going to Canada on a 1 year work visa. One of the conditions for the visa is that I have health/travel insurance for the full period of stay. I was wondering how travel insurance works if I had to get a prescription in Canada. Would I have to wait till the end of my trip to claim it back?
Are there insurance companies which let you make the claims online or give you some form of payment for prescriptions etc. for example, a card that you hand in to the pharmacy that can bill the insurance company straight away?
I believe I have everything else covered, I just want to make sure I won't run into any problems while I am over there.
Thanks.
