Emergency Medical Expenses

Emergency Medical Expenses

Prepare for the unexpected and enjoy peace of mind thanks to high-quality travel insurance coverage for illness or accidents that you can count on when you really need it.

Emergency medical expense travel insurance that covers accidents or unexpected illnesses during a trip is essential for all travellers the moment they leave Quebec, since the RAMQ (Régie d’Assurance Maladie du Québec) reimburses only a very small portion of costs incurred elsewhere due to an accident or sudden illness.

Obtain the coverage you need for unexpected emergency medical expenses and other costs incurred wherever you travel with the reliable, affordable protection offered by Eureka Travel Insurance.

  • Emergency medical expenses due to an accident or illness
  • Treatment provided by a doctor or other healthcare professional
  • Land and air ambulance
  • Repatriation to your province of residence
  • Hospitalization and diagnosis
  • Prescription medications
  • Emergency dental care
  • Return of vehicle or pet to your province of residence
  • X-rays and other medical services
  • Laboratory analyses
  • Transport of a family member or other loved one to your bedside

Your health matters

If, as is the case for some travellers, you have a pre-existing health condition, it is essential that you fully understand the state of your health in order to know whether a particular medical condition will be covered or excluded if it worsens during your trip.

Examples of pre-existing conditions that may be covered:
  • Cardiac disease
  • Vascular disease
  • Neurological illness
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Pulmonary disease
  • Cancer
  • Gastro-intestinal disease
  • Various other conditions and illnesses may also be covered

Learn more by talking to one of our agents, who will evaluate your specific needs and offer you coverage based on how long your health has been stable, even if it has only been stable for a short time.

And don’t forget that if the state of your health changes before leaving on your trip, you should contact us in order to make any required modifications to your policy. You can speak to an agent by calling 1 844 386-8448

 
Do you already have coverage of emergency medical expenses through a credit card or an individual or group insurance policy?

Don’t worry — we will find a solution that will insure you for any days not covered by your original policy. Ask an agent about options to supplement your coverage by calling us at 1 844 386-8448

 
Reduce your premium by selecting a different deductible

The higher the deductible you choose, the lower your premium will be. However, in the event that you make a claim, you will have to pay the deductible amount that you have selected. What decision you make will depend in part on your tolerance for risk. Would you rather pay a deductible of $500 if you have to make a claim, or pay $50 more for your premium when you purchase the policy?

  • Deductibles available in Canadian or U.S. dollars
  • Standard and hospital deductibles available

We offer a range of deductible options that help reduce the premium you pay, making your coverage more financially affordable.

Speak to one of our agents for advice about the various deductible options available at 1 844 386-8448
