Basic travel health insurance covers emergency care expenses. For example, if a traveler from Canada breaks her arm during a trip to the U.S., the policy usually will cover emergency room costs, x-rays, physician fees, and possibly costs for the cast. In more serious accidents, the insurance generally pays for surgical fees as well as limited hospital stays. Airlifting to another hospital or to a medical center in the person’s home country sometimes is covered as well.
