Why do you need Emergency Travel Medical Insurance?
When Canadian
residents travel between provinces or out of the country they remain
covered by their provincial health care plan. However, there are
restrictions as to the amount of coverage and to the periods of
absence from their home province. Since only a fraction of medical
and hospital expenses may be covered, Emergency Travel Medical
Insurance can made up the difference.
"Emergency" means an unexpected, unforeseen
sickness or bodily injury, which requires immediate medical
treatment and which cannot be delayed until returning to country of
origin.
This
insurance also provides financial assistance with the cost of returning
home by air ambulance, returning the patient and his or her
traveling companions home early, or for relative to travel the
location of the patient.
When to buy
Emergency Travel Medical Insurance
You have to
buy a policy before or on your departure date. Your travel emergency
medical coverage starts on the latest of:
-
the day you leave
your province or territory of residence or
-
the
effective
date, as shown on your policy.
Refer to the policy for
details.
