More options, better features
Travelling with someone? Take advantage of our Companion Discount, available for annual or single trip medical plans with worldwide coverage. Canadian insurance holders are also assured of a higher pre-existing conditions coverage limit of $150,000 on all annual and single trip plans.
Stop anywhere from Vancouver to St. John’s before going on your trip, and be automatically covered on an annual medical plan—even if the number of days you’re travelling exceeds the trip length specified in your insurance policy.
Need to be evacuated from a hot spot for non-medical reasons? Get peace of mind from our non-medical evacuation benefit of up to $4,000 for annual and single trip medical plan holders.
Are provincial medical plans enough?
These days, provincial health insurance doesn't come close to covering you while you're out of province, and don't count on your corporate or credit card insurance—it may fall far short of your expectations. A medical emergency or sudden illness while you're travelling could ruin your trip.
Many hospitals won't even admit patients without adequate medical coverage. If they do, the costs can be astronomical. One hour in an Emergency Room could cost as much as $10,000 in the United States. Major surgery and extended intensive care could leave you penniless.
Travel anywhere in the world, worry-free
