Emergency Medical and Travel Insurance Winnipeg

Emergency medical insurance covers you in the event of an unexpected medical emergency while you are travelling. Health Canada and provincial governments offer healthcare coverage within Canada. Other countries, however, can charge exorbitant amounts for healthcare. Emergency medical insurance helps you pay for those unexpected medical expenses.

Emergency medical insurance may also cover private duty nursing, the costs to transport someone to stay with you while you recover from injury or illness, the costs of food and lodging for a person staying with you while you recover, the cost of your return flight home, and more.

Travel insurance covers you in the event of an unexpected cancellation, interruption, or delay. Cancellations can be brought on by illness, a travel advisory warning against non-essential travel, or other reasons that are covered by the insurer. Costs associated with flight delays may be covered. Interruptions can be caused by events that require you to fly back early—or to stay in the place you’re vacationing in for longer.

There are a variety of costs that can be covered by travel insurance, depending on the circumstances. Travel insurance may cover you for costs you’ve prepaid, cancellation fees, lodgings, food, and transportation, and other costs related to delays, interruptions, and cancellations while you’re on vacation.
