TRAVEL MEDICAL INSURANCE

"We strongly recommend Canadian residents obtain Travel Insurance when leaving Canada as hospital and medical expenses incurred outside Canada can create substantial financial burdens" -Provincial Ministry of Health.

Travel Medical Insurance is required by those communities who travel out of the province or nation for vacation or work purposes. It provides coverage for Unexpected Medical Emergencies, and should not be mistaken for the type of coverage provided by Provincial health insurance. It is for medical care that cannot be delayed until you return home.

Specific benefits and coverage limits will differ with all policies, however, some of the main coverages included by most are:

• Inpatient room and board charges
• Full Doctors' charges
• Prescription drugs while in the hospital

• Emergency air ambulance to your own hospital
• Other professional services such as special duty nursing, chiropractors, podiatrists, etc.
