QUESTIONS?We have answers.

Why do I need travel insurance?You are responsible for potential medical expenses not covered by Saskatchewan Health when you travel outside Saskatchewan, even to another province. Without the purchase of a travel plan, the resulting costs will come out of pocket if you suddenly become ill or have an accident. Don’t leave home without travel coverage!

Why choose Blue Cross?With a Blue Cross travel insurance plan, you can rest assured that you’re always protected, no matter where you travel.

• Travel assistance available 24/7 for any emergency, anywhere you travel.

• Optional deductibles on emergency medical care costs. Where possible, we arrange payment directly with the hospital.

• Some pre-existing conditions may be covered for greater peace of mind.*

• We’re a Blue Cross Blue Shield® Association partner - the largest medical network in the United States. We also partner with assistance service providers worldwide.

How are Blue Cross rates calculated?At Blue Cross, travel insurance premiums are based on your age, your health and on the duration of your trip. You pay only for what you need.

INDIVIDUAL PLANSThese plans are great for single trip coverage on family vacations or quick getaways.

WHAT IF I EXPERIENCE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY WHILE TRAVELLING?Contact our travel assistance team immediately following your medical emergency. Assistance is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Be prepared to provide your policy number, trip information and a brief description of the medical emergency. Our team will provide the support and help you need, whatever the medical emergency:

• Recommend a doctor, clinic or hospital best suited to provide appropriate care for your medical condition.

• Follow-up of your case by our health professionals, regardless of your age and diagnosis.

• Coordinate repatriation by ground or air ambulance, or on a regular flight.

• Contact your family upon request, in the event of an emergency.
