If you're traveling through Canada without unreasonable delay by the most direct route between Alaska and another U.S. state when a medical emergency occurs, and the Canadian hospital is closer than the nearest U.S. hospital will Medicare cover the treatment of your illness or injury while traveling. Medicare determines what qualifies as "without unreasonable delay" on a case-by-case basis.
