5 Before you go Travel Insurance Why should I purchase travel insurance? Your Canadian health insurance is almost certainly not valid outside of Canada. Your provincial or territorial health plan may cover nothing or only a very small portion of the costs of medical care abroad, and never up front. Foreign hospitals can be very expensive and may require immediate cash payment. How much coverage do I need? Your travel insurance should include health, life and disability coverage that will help you avoid large expenses, such as the cost of hospitalization and medical treatment outside Canada. Ensure your coverage includes or has provisions for: Pre-existing medical conditions: understand the definitions of, and limitations and restrictions due to, pre-existing conditions and tests and treatments you may have undergone. Ensure that any deductible costs are clearly explained in the policy. Medical evacuation: ensure the policy covers medical evacuation to Canada or to the nearest location with appropriate medical care. Repatriation in case of death: ensure that the plan covers the preparation and return of your remains to Canada. Where do I get travel insurance? You can purchase travel insurance through your travel agent, insurance broker or your employer s insurance provider. Your credit card company may also offer travel and health insurance. In all cases, be sure to verify the coverage. *CAA Travel Insurance is underwritten by Orion Travel Insurance Company. Conditions apply. See CAA for details. CAA Members SAVE 10% * on Travel Insurance
