You also have the option to add Prestige Travel Insurance to your plan. 

      Health coverage is more affordable than you think 

      Direct-to-pharmacy reimbursement help to keep your monthly costs within your budget. Affordable and tax-deductible monthly health insurance premiums mean you’ll be ready for planned and unplanned health care costs all year long!

Our Dental Insurance plan provides comprehensive services for you and your family. This includes preventative services like regular oral exams and cleaning, as well as restorative services.

      Dental coverage is more affordable than you think!

      Dental care can get expensive. The good news is our plan has coverage limits to keep monthly costs within your budget. Also, did you know that your monthly dental insurance premiums are tax deductible?

      How does it work?

      Guaranteed Life Insurance provides coverage with premiums that don’t increase with age. In fact, at age 100, coverage becomes premium free!

      How much life insurance do I need?

      You can choose how much life insurance coverage to apply for, to reflect your loved ones’ needs. It is recommended that you and your spouse are both covered by an amount of life insurance equal to at least five times your annual income.

      Have questions? We’re here to answer them

      Will my pre-existing medical condition affect my eligibility and coverage?

      Coverage can be purchased regardless of health status. Our policy provides coverage for pre-existing medical conditions as long as the stability requirement, where applicable, is met prior to booking your trip for trip cancellation, or prior to your date of departure for emergency medical coverage and trip interruption and delay. In most cases, MEDOC® Travel Insurance requires 90 days of stability for pre-existing medical conditions. For additional information about the stability requirement specific to your policy, please speak to one of our agents.

      Stable means any medical condition or related condition (including any heart condition and/or lung condition), other than a minor ailment, for which all of the following statements are true:

      • there has been no new diagnosis, new treatment or new prescribed medication;
      • there has been no change in treatment or change in prescribed medication (including the amount of medication to be taken, how often it is to be taken, the type of medication or changes in treatment frequency or type); Exception: i) the routine adjustment of Coumadin or Warfarin, insulin or oral medications to control diabetes, (as long as it is not newly prescribed or stopped); or ii) a change from a brand name medication to a generic brand medication (provided the dosage is not modified);
      • there has been no new symptom, more frequent symptom or more severe symptom experienced;
      • there has been no test result showing a deterioration;
      • there has been no hospitalization or referral to a specialist (made or recommended) and there is no further investigation for which results are pending.
      Will my age affect my coverage eligibility?

      With MEDOC®, you don’t have to worry about not qualifying for coverage because you’ve reached a certain age . If you are concerned about your coverage in relation to your age, do not hesitate to contact us by phone at 1.866.606.3362 or by email at [email protected]

      Can I extend my coverage once I’m already on a trip?

      Yes, you can extend your coverage after the date of departure from your province of residence. You must contact us prior to your coverage lapsing and one of our agents will be able to assist you. Please note that there may be a premium adjustment. In case you have already experienced a claim during your trip or believe you have reason to submit a claim, please allow at least 3 business days prior to your coverage lapsing, as your file will need to be reviewed and approval received, prior to an extension request being granted.3
