We offer single-trip or multi-trip Medical Plans.

You can choose between single-trip and multi-trip plans to ensure you’re covered. Multi-trip medical plans are perfect for those who travel frequently or are Snowbirds. On the other hand, single-trip plans are designed for travellers with one specific trip.

So, select the best plan that suits your travel habits and enjoys your journeys without any worries.

What does the provincial healthcare plan include?

It might come as a surprise, but your provincial healthcare, Saskatchewan Health, offers coverage for only certain things when you are travelling outside the province. It may not cover the entire cost of certain things, either.

For example, the cost of an ambulance or prescription drugs typically is not covered by your government health plans. If you don’t have insurance, the cost of emergency transportation or medications could burn a hole in your pocket.

Why should you consider the Trip Cancellation Coverage?

A recent survey shared by the Canadian Underwriter back in 2019 revealed that slightly more than a quarter of 1,000 Canadians surveyed have filed an insurance claim due to incidents experienced during travel.

Trip cancellation coverage can reimburse you for non-refundable trip expenses and cancellation costs associated with prepaid travel. For instance, fees incurred from cancelling a flight would be covered.
