Understand coverage types before choosing the package that’s right for you.
Emergency medical care plans provide coverage for out-of-country or out-of-province medical expenses of up to $5,000,000. Benefits include hospital accommodation, doctor’s bills, medical appliances, private registered nurse, laboratory tests, emergency prescription drugs, accidental dental care, ambulance service, repatriation, and more.
The plan must be purchased prior to departure from your province of residence.
Always included in emergency medical coverage:
Sometimes, circumstances beyond your control force you to cancel your trip, or cut it short after you’ve left. Trip cancellation or interruption coverage protects you from losing your investment. If your trip includes non-refundable, prepaid travel expenses, this benefit is for you.
This plan must be purchased once the first non-refundable deposit on the trip is made.
No one wants to think about a major accident happening on a trip—but if it does, accident coverage helps ease the financial strain.
This benefit covers you for accidental death or loss of use of one or several limbs during your trip. This protection is applicable at anytime during your trip, or while on air flight or public transportation. A lump sum amount will be paid to the covered person or to the beneficiary, depending on the event.

It’s everyone’s fear: you arrive safely at your destination… but your luggage doesn’t.
That’s where this benefit comes in, covering you against loss or damage to your baggage and personal effects so you can continue with your trip with minimal disruption. You’re also insured up to $500 for the purchase of toiletries and clothing necessities in the event your luggage arrival is delayed 12 hours or more.
What is an Annual Medical Travel Plan?
How to purchase an Annual Medical Travel Plan?
Top it up with trip cancellation, accident and baggage loss coverage.
Travelling within Canada?
Health coverage differs from province to province. As a non-resident traveller to another province or territory, you may not be eligible for the same services or pay the same rates as residents.
If you’re travelling within the country, make sure you’re covered no matter where you go with a Canada-only plan.
Travelling outside Canada?
We’ve all heard how high out-of-country medical bills can run. Travel insurance when leaving the country is a must; you can’t predict when accidents might occur.

Travel often?
Annual plans cover you for any number of trips within a one-year period. Choosing annual coverage up-front might provide you more value than purchasing coverage for each trip individually.
Can an existing condition or chronic
illness be covered?
If your illness or condition is under control, it may be covered under a Blue Cross travel insurance plan. But, it's important to consult your doctor at least four months before your departure to ensure that your illness or condition is well under control. If you are over the age of 55, visit your doctor at least seven months before you plan to leave. If your condition or illness is excluded for coverage, you will only be covered in case of accident or illness not related to that condition.
