TRAVEL INSURANCE
Overview
This insurance is crucial for Canadians traveling outside of their home province and especially if they are leaving Canada. Costs are only marginally covered by Provincial Health Insurance Plans.
- Provincial government health insurance Plan must be in force for all persons applying for emergency hospital and medical insurance.
- Provincial Health Insurance Plans have limits on how long Canadians can be outside of Canada and still remain eligible for coverage. If you are intending to be outside of Canada for an extended period of time, usually 180 consecutive days or more, you should check with your Provincial Health Insurance Plan. Please note that insurance coverage is available if you do not have Provincial Health Insurance in force.
- It is very important that you advise of any pre existing medical condition before departing on your trip, in order to ensure that you will be insured for this medical condition.
- If you are 55 years of age or older, the insurer may require a completed medical questionnaire.
- It is important that you review your travel insurance policy before departure, to ensure that any of the conditions /exclusions do not pertain to your own situation.
- For those in the sport community, you should be aware that these policies contain sport exclusions, however, you can still be properly insured. Most sport exclusions will read as follows:
"Benefits are not payable for costs incurred due to injury resulting from training for or participating in speed contests usually and customarily in excess of 60 km per hour, professional sports activities, or organized motor sport contests.”
The term professional usually means an activity engaged in by the insured person who earns the majority of their income from such activity.
