Out of Province Emergency Medical Coverage and Travel Assistance
Effective July 1, 2022 the out-of-province emergency medical insurance will be underwritten by Manulife.
With the change in insurer, policy language has been updated including changes to definitions and exclusions; however, coverage remains substantially the same with some improvements over what was provided under the prior insurer.
Please refer to Manulife’s out-of-province emergency medical benefit booklet for details of the coverage provided, and contact the Plan Administrator for a copy of the Schedule of Benefits specific to your Plan. Your Schedule of Benefits outlines key provisions including: overall dollar maximum, maximum number of days covered per trip, and pre-existing medical condition stability period.
IMPORTANT
