What must i know about my health insurance before going to the er in another city?

Nothing: If you have an emergency, it doesn't matter about your insurance. Er's are legally obligated to treat/stabilize anyone regardless of their financial/insurance status. Insurance companies may balk, but if you need emergent care, the payment is secondary.
