Exclusions and Limitations.
Visitors to Canada medical insurance does not
cover everything. This insurance has exclusions, conditions and limitations.
The most important exclusion in any Visitors to
Canada policy is the Pre-existing
Medical Condition
exclusion. Please read it carefully for a full understanding of this
exclusion.
Here's the way it works:
• Under 60 years of age:
You're automatically
covered for pre-existing medical conditions as long
as they have been stable in the 180 days before
the policy starts.
• Between the ages of 60 and 85 two options are available:
a) No coverage for
pre-existing medical conditions: you will pay a lower premium, but there is
no coverage for medical expenses relating to any sickness, disease or injury
for which medication has been taken, received or prescribed, and/or
treatment has been received in the 180 days preceding the effective
date of the policy.
b) You can buy the "Stable Chronic Condition" (SCC) Option
to cover your stable pre-existing conditions, but you have to complete the
Medical Declaration
to see if you are eligible for this coverage. If you are
ineligible or decide to waive the SCC option, you will pay lower premium but
will NOT be covered
for any pre-existing conditions - stable or unstable.
• Age 86 and over - pre-existing conditions are not
covered.
Claim Procedure.
In
the event of an emergency please call the Assistance Centre. The
Assistance Centre phone numbers are shown in your confirmation of coverage,
the policy wording and ID cards.
Claims must be reported within 30 days of occurrence. Written proof of claim
must be submitted within 90 days of occurrence.
Consult the claim guideline in
the
Policy Wording.
This is only a
summary of the benefits. Please
read the
Policy wording before
purchasing the policy for a full explanation of benefits, terms and conditions, limitations
and exclusions.
