Is your Canadian child travelling abroad or to the US for school? Ensure they are protected with Emergency Hospital and Medical Insurance.
For Canadian Students Travelling out of the Country for their Education
Travel health insurance is critical because medical costs in other countries can be very high. Student travel insurance provides coverage for both emergencies and non-emergencies. And it’s more comprehensive than regular travel insurance.
Travel Student Insurance Medical Benefits
- Coverage for COVID
- Hospitalization fees for a semi-private room
- Ambulance (Ground or Air Transportation)
- Prescription drugs required to treat emergency situations
- Professional fees for nurses, physicians and other health care professionals for emergency medical treatment
- Services from licensed practitioners such as physiotherapist, chiropractor, chiropodist, acupuncturist, speech therapist and others
- Emergency dental treatment
- Eye exam
- Psychiatric and psychological care
- Prescription glasses, contact lenses and hearing aids
- Tutorial services
- Wisdom tooth extraction
- Trauma counselling
- Pre-existing conditions covered if stable in the 90 days prior to the start of coverage
And many more.
And if your child decides to travel while studying, they will continue to be insured (so long as they spend 51% of the time in the country of study).
For a Canadian Student Studying in a Different Province
Canadian students who travel to another province to study still have health coverage, but only at the rates paid by their home provinces government health insurance program (GHIP). If there’s a difference, it’s up to you to pay for it.
