  • Unexpected illness caused by infection or reaction
  • Heatstroke

  • Prescriptions
  • Treatments

Billing if Abroad

First, billing practices vary from country to country. Present your travel wallet card with your policy number and contact information for travel assistance. Please keep your original bills and receipts to submit them to your insurer for later reimbursement.

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?

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