F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Deductible?
This represents the amount of eligible medical expenses that must be paid by the insured before the insurance company begins to reimburse for covered expenses. As an example, if you purchase a plan with a $50 deductible and incur $200 of expenses, the insurance company will begin to reimburse for expenses after you have paid the first $50 of your medical bills. There are two different kinds of deductibles, per-claim and per-policy period. A per claim deductible means that the insured must pay a new deductible for each separate incident. (Example: pay the deductible once for a broken leg and then a second time for a flu treatment). A per-policy period deductible means that the insured must pay the deductible only once during the period of the insurance policy. If your plan has a $100 deductible, you pay the first $100 of the expenses and then the insurance company picks up the rest. The higher the deductible, the lower the premium cost and vice versa.
-
What is a Pre-existing Condition?
Generally, pre-existing conditions are defined as any sickness, injury or medical condition for which the insured consulted a physician, has symptoms, has been hospitalized or was prescribed medications within a certain period before the effective date of coverage. Each insurance company treats pre-existing conditions differently and this is a major reason for declined medical claims. The look back period may vary from 3 months to a life time. Please, read the exclusion section in the insurance policy booklet for exact definition. There are certain visitors insurance plans in which coverage for stable pre-existing conditions is possible. Please call our customer service at 1-877-838-0020 for more information.

When should I purchase Visitors to Canada insurance?
Ideally, you should buy your insurance policy prior to arrival in Canada.

More importantly, by buying your insurance protection before arrival you are not risking your money in case there is a medical emergency within the first few days of landing.
