What are my options on receiving medical help as a tourist sick in the NY?
I'm a Canadian citizen if that makes any difference, but I've gotten sick while being in NYC without insurance and I wanted to know what are the services, prices etc. as a tourist seeking help. Is there a site with what sort of fees it costs to visit a doctor?
I'm a member of IAMAT if that's still valid and relevant.
Best Answer
You should look into travel insurance. It should be around $80/week. One ER visit could leave you with $X,000+ in medical bills. Try World Nomads or Kanetix.ca. Before you decide on a company, you should do a Google search to make sure they don't give their customers a hard time with claims.
