To all CAIP members,
We are very pleased to advise you that 2012 will be 30 years that Armstrong-McCready Inc. and the Canadian Athlete Insurance Program (CAIP) has been serving the Canadian Sport Community. First and foremost, we would like to take this opportunity to extend a thank you to all the CAIP members who have supported and benefited from this program over the years. CAIP has certainly evolved over the years to become the premier provider of specialized medical insurance to Canadian Athletes at all levels and in all sports.
We are very proud of the fact that we have
been able to continue and even expand on the “Overuse” benefit. Overuse coverage has been unique to CAIP
since the beginning and has always been the most popular and sought after
benefit amongst Canada’s athletes. Additionally, we have been able to maintain
our original commitment to provide the same level of insurance coverage and at
the same rates to all Canadian athletes regardless of their sporting activity.
Please be advised that
effective March 1st, 2011, the following enhancements to the CAIP
program have taken effect. We confirm
that the premium rates remain unchanged.

In March 1, 2009 we

are very pleased to announce that these four benefits now form part of the “In
Canada” policy at the Bronze Level as shown:
Benefits Bronze

Repatriation - $2,500
X-Rays and Lab Exams - $300
We are very pleased to advise that the Medical Reimbursement Expense Benefit amount in the Out of Canada policy has increased from $250,000 to $500,000. For those Sports that have the Annual Out of Canada policy option, we will be sending you endorsements to your policies reflecting this change.
The new wordings will be
posted on our web site very shortly.
As many of you are aware,
CAIP is available to all Canadian Athletes, Coaches, Managers and Officials who
are members of a sport governing body.
A sport governing body can be a National Sport Organization, Provincial
Sport Organization, Canadian Sport Center, Sport Teams, Leagues or Clubs. Anyone of these sport bodies can contact us
directly to arrange CAIP insurance for their members.
CAIP has certainly
evolved and expanded over the years. To
summarize, we show below some of the highlights of CAIP:
We hope you find these
coverage enhancements helpful. Please
do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Michael Kirsch
