Don’t let an urgent health issue or accident ruin this unique moment after all the time you devoted to plan your trip. Medical expenses incurred while abroad can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you’re not properly insured, you’ll end up paying out of your own pocket and risk jeopardizing your financial future.
Whether you’re planning a single or multiple trips abroad, this is an essential insurance policy. It covers health issues and accidents that could have a significant financial impact. Don’t forget, however, that other products such as the trip cancellation and interruption insurance, the multi-trip annual insurance and all-inclusive travel insurance, offer more comprehensive coverage. This is also the case for the Canadian students abroad and international students insurance policies. These plans cover medical expenses abroad that are not covered by provincial health plans.
Isaac, 4 years old, was on vacation with his family in California when he ventured out by himself and fell into the swimming pool. For several minutes, no one noticed his absence—until his father went looking for and found him. A family member administered first aid while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Isaac was taken to the Children’s Hospital where he was kept overnight for observation. Fortunately, he did not suffer any after-effects, and the entire family was able to enjoy the rest of the trip.
