Travel Insurance.
Why do Canadians need travel insurance?
No one ever plans to need medical care while away; but if you do experience an accident or get sick on your trip, Emergency Medical Insurance covers hospital and doctors’ fees, prescriptions, emergency transportation and more.
If you’re travelling anywhere, whether it be overseas, across the border, or to another province, your provincial healthcare plan won’t go with you. That means, if you experience a medical emergency while on your trip, you’ll be required to arrange for and pay for your care out of pocket.
Features of travel insurance include Emergency Medical coverage as well as non-medical coverages such as Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Accidental Death & Dismemberment and, Baggage Insurance.
