If I contract COVID-19 while travelling, am I covered for indirect costs related to my illness?

If you are medically unfit to travel due to an emergency, your coverage is extended for up to five days following the date that you are deemed stable to return to your province by your physician or the common carrier.

The coverage provides up to $250 per day, to a maximum of $5,000 per trip, per insured person, for the reasonable additional expenses for meals and accommodation, when a trip is extended beyond the last day of the scheduled trip due to the sickness and/or injury suffered by an insured person or travelling companion.

Contact Global Excel Management using the applicable phone number on your benefits card before starting any medical treatment.

For complete details of emergency medical coverage, please refer to pages 50 to 67 of the Insurance Plans Booklet.
