insurance;
I’m covered by my credit card!”
The coverage provided by your credit card may have limitations or
restrictions. It is important to review your contract thoroughly
for coverage details. It is often recommended that you purchase
additional coverage for complete protection.
Check your plan for the following:
Travel duration
Travel Insurance cannot be purchased once you depart from Ontario.
It is important to check the length of stay covered with your
credit card coverage, as well as any restrictions based on
age.
Emergency Medical Care coverage
There are often strict eligibility and stability requirements based
on your health. Blue Cross offers the option of a medical
questionnaire for individuals 61 years of age or older with a
chronic illness, this option is not always available with credit
card coverage.
Trip Cancellation or Interruption
You may need to purchase additional protection, depending on the
cost of your trip. Most credit card companies do not cover Trip
Interruption or Cancellation coverage and when covered, the
maximums are not sufficient to protect your investment.
Protect yourself and your family. Don’t risk your financial security with incomplete protection. With a Blue Cross Travel insurance plan you will benefit from complete medical coverage, recognized worldwide.
