问问个官方吧，我觉得够呛，你在邀请信里写了负责一切费用了吧

??看吧... 但我看.. 不太行
除非?自己有?她揠旅咣保胝!

恐怕不行，如果是你担保的，就需要你负担，如果是他们自己担保自己的，就需要他们自己负担。为什么不买保险？！

 

[bonjour]

没想到会发生意外. 以后一定要买保险. 我没有担保母亲过来. 她有美国绿卡, 买张飞机票就可以过来. 医疗费肯定是天文数字. 我们恐怕是负担不起. 发愁啊...

 

[Rabbit]

那应该好办啊，有美国绿卡，美国应该负责医疗费，比如你是永久居民，你去美国，如果发声以外，加拿大的医疗是负责你临时出境的费用的

How bad is it? Doctor visit is usually 70-80/visit and XRAY and cast may cost abit but depends on the severity. There is also pain-killer (<50 for a month). But will not be more than 1K or 2K. Is she okay otherwise? (like no head trauma. ..etc.)

Relax, worry about it is not gonna make less AND remeber it is your mom that is in most pain　right now (the wound & worry about your cost)!

Cook her more pork bone soup. Good luck!

是啊，TT说的对，有美国绿卡，应该就没问题了。

另外，保险都是防意外的，如果知道会发生，就不是意外了。不过你目前的case，好像是不用买的。

美国好象没有什么医疗保障的吧，一般都是自己买保险和公司保险，不是太清楚。

Thank you for your advices. My mother also bumped her head and hurt her neck, but not serious. I was told that each doctor visit in the future will cost $250 something since she is not a Canadian citizen or PR. She will also take X-Rays for each doctor visit. the Cost for yesterday includes hospital charges and physician charges, each of which contains many items. I am sure it's not just 1k or 2k.

Dont know what to say I think $70-$80 was for a walk-in clinic. I did not expecting this much in the hospital. You have my sympathy for the situation.

You know for stuff like simple medical questions or advise you can also call Telehealth Ontario 1-866-797-0000. http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/public/program/telehealth/telehealth_mn.html A registered nurse will answer most of simple questions and it is free. For drug interactions (like "can she take this while taking that"... you can also directly call a pharmacy to get free info)

Good luck!

如果是跌打损伤,没有心脏等内科问题,在中文报上找找中医,好好说说可能会比大医院要便宜很多.如果有内科问题,中医可能不管事,还是要找西医.

大家一定要给VISITOR买保险,别的钱可以省,这个钱不能省!!!!!

我知道一对夫妻本来日子过得很好,后来老人来了,他们没有买保险,结果老人什么急性病发作,住院花了若干万元加币,最后耗尽积蓄,差点破产.

One more thing you acn try.... Believe it or not. You can actually ask family physician for dicount. Maybe it will be difficult to do it in a big hospital where everything is in a rulebook. In family practise, private-visit fee is usually determined by the MD (advised by the MD college). I know someone (not Chinese, if you care to know) did this and got discount. Tell them the story, they often could act on compassion (NOTE they can only give discount on their time/service. Not things like Xray or that of a nurse) Good luck!
