TRAVEL INSURANCE QUOTE FORM
Provincial health insurance only covers you for what it would cost here in BC when you are travelling out of the province; so you need Excess Travel Medical coverage for anything over and above that. Each province is different in what they charge for their medical services. This means a medical emergency or sudden illness when you’re travelling could ruin your trip. Worse, without proper coverage the medical expenses could financially ruin YOU. And consider this, without adequate medical coverage, many hospitals won’t even admit patients. If they do, the costs can be astronomical. One hour in an Emergency Room can cost as much as $10,000 in the United States. Major surgery and extended intensive care could leave you penniless.
Key Benefits:
$10 million dollars coverage
In the event of a medical emergency, your coverage includes:
- Surgical procedures
