Your government health insurance plan covers you when you’re at home, but it does not cover you once you leave your province or country. That means if an unexpected medical emergency happens while travelling outside your home province or territory, getting treatment can cost a lot of money.
If you’re going outside your home province or territory, travel insurance is essential to protect you and your finances. If an unexpected accident or illness happens during your trip, travel insurance can help cover the cost of:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Transportation costs for medically necessary treatment
- Prescription drugs
- Medical equipment and supplies
- Trip cancellation and interruption expenses
Ideal for:
- Travellers covered under a Canadian government health insurance plan
- Canadians up to age 89 travelling for business or pleasure
- Canadians travelling anywhere in the world
