Visitors to Canada Emergency Medical Insurance Coverage
If you plan to visit Canada from abroad or even from the USA, it is important to make sure that you have some emergency medical coverage as you will not be covered by the provincial government health plans. While you may think that medical expenses in Canada are inexpensive, they are not – especially for those not covered by provincial medical policies. Thus it is important to buy some Visitors to Canada coverage before you arrive in Canada, but it may be possible to do so even after you arrive.
The website owner, TFG Global Insurance Solutions Ltd., offers TuGo’s Visitors to Canada travel medical insurance. Visitors to Canada Single Trip Hospital and Medical Coverage is an Emergency Excess Hospital/Medical insurance coverage that covers Insured individuals visiting Canada for single trips. All premiums are in Canadian dollars. Note that COVID-19 related claims are not covered. Pre-existing medical conditions are also not covered and we recommend you read the plan terms and conditions when you obtain a quote online.
After making payment online, you will be able to print your travel insurance policy confirmation online – it will contain the policy and claims information you need to take on your travels.
