Going on vacation? Don’t forget travel insurance
– moneysense.ca
OTTAWA – Sunscreen, check. Beach hat, check. Camera, check. How about travel medical insurance?
As you prepare to head south on your winter getaway, travel experts want you remember to check your insurance coverage.
“The minute that you leave your home province you need medical coverage,” said Tina Richardson, business development manager for CAA Travel.
“Even within our own country, outside of province we still need travel medical insurance.”
Your provincial health care plan only provides limited coverage for emergency medical costs outside of Canada and even within Canada you may face costs that are only partially covered or not at all.
On its website, the Ontario government strongly advises people to purchase additional health insurance every time they leave Canada to cover any expenses not covered by the provincial health insurance plan.
