Will I have medical coverage if I travel to a location with a travel advisory?

Effective October 1, 2020 medical coverage under your MEDOC and Prestige policies will include COVID-19 for the remainder of 2020 and with your new policy beginning January 1, 2021.

Your policy now provides coverage for travel to areas outside Canada, including where travel advisories due to COVID-19 may still be in place, with the exception of claims directly or indirectly related to a specific local travel advisory other than COVID-19 that is issued by the Government of Canada (for example, areas of conflict in the Philippines).

Although coverage for eligible medical expenses is now available, we strongly encourage customers to review the Government of Canada travel advisories before booking and travelling. Return transportation options and availability of medical care may become very limited outside Canada.

Please carefully review the details of the modifications to your policy which can be downloaded, printed and saved by visiting our dedicated COVID-19 page.
