Chris, I did some phoning about instead of leaving the house - it's snowing like crazy here & this isn't part of the great white north!!! This is Canada's "banana belt", we should be having spring, the flowers are all up.
Anyway, it's possible to see a doctor in Canada if you're American. Your insurance may cover the costs but you need to pay the clinic & they'll give you a receipt that you take back to get reimbursement from your insurance company.
You can also get prescriptions from a Canadian pharmacy but you need to have the prescription written by a Canadian doctor to have it filled. The pharmacist I talked to said they don't fill American doctors' prescriptions. She's not my regular pharmacist so when I see him, I'll double-check. If he tells me different, I'll post back & let you know. If I don't post back with a different story, then this one stands.
