YOUR TRAVEL INSURANCE > FAQS

Why do I need travel insurance?

Regrettably, we all know someone who has needed and benefited from having travel insurance. There are many kinds of medical emergencies including:

  • Car accidents
  • A trip or fall
  • The flu
  • A bad burn in the kitchen

Medical care outside Canada can be a very expensive. Provincial health care covers only a small portion of that cost. Obtaining insurance is a wise decision.

HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT POLICY FOR ME?

It’s important to do your research by examining the policies of many different providers. An independent insurance broker, such as Snowbird Medi-Quote, can do this for you to find the best option for your needs.

HOW CAN I AVOID DENIED CLAIMS?

Most claims are denied for reasons related to these three areas:

  • Incorrect Medical Questionnaire
  • Pre-existing Medical Condition Exclusion
  • Eligibility Criteria

Insurance companies include clauses in their policies to limit their risk of claims. As a traveller, it is important to be familiar with the most commonly used reasons for denial of a claim.
