Many travel insurance policies include a deductible — the amount you pay for services included in your policy before your insurer starts to pay.
Let’s say you’re on a trip that gets derailed due to a medical emergency. You receive a hospital bill of $2,500 and your policy includes a $500 deductible. You would have to pay the $500 in hospital costs and would be reimbursed $2,000 or up to the sum insured by your insurer.
Allianz Global Assistance offers a wide range of plans with and without a $500 deductible. For Canadian residents seeking medical coverage while travelling frequently over the course of a year, we offer 4, 8, 15 and 35 day Emergency Medical Multi-trip plans. These plans may reimburse certain expenses such as emergency medical, dental, emergency medical transportation, return of vehicle/watercraft, and pet return, , subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations of each plan Our Emergency Medical Plan offers the same benefits and deductible, however coverage is limited to one trip.
For international visitors to Canada, we offer a range of plans including $500,000, $100,000, $50,000 and $25,000 in emergency medical coverage with a deductible.
And for young adult travellers coming to Canada temporarily on a student visa, our International Students to Canada plan offers a deductible of $75 for emergency medical protection. The International Students to Canada plan is ideal for travellers who want low-cost medical coverage, in exchange for a reduced amount in expenses covered.
If you opt for the International Students to Canada Plan, the deductible will not apply to treatment obtained through the Telehealth service and any subsequent clinic or hospitalization recommended by our Telehealth doctors up until the emergency is resolved.
