TORONTO, Ont. – Truckers have been assured they will be covered by life and health insurers’ out-of-country medical coverage if they are infected with the Covid-19 virus while in the U.S. The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) confirmed continued coverage this morning, after concerns were raised by truckers and the trucking industry that coverage would not include Covid-19. “With restrictions to non-essential travel beginning in the coming days, Canada’s insurers want to be clear that commercial truckers will not lose their group out-of-country medical coverage due to recent travel restrictions,” Stephen Frank president and CEO of CLHIA said. “The commercial...

With their endless premium increases, insurance companies are on their way to positioning themselves as the Number One villain in personal finance. So it’s easy to sympathize with the anger of snowbirds over the Ontario government’s move to stop making a contribution toward emergency medical costs incurred when residents are out of the country, effective Jan. 1.

Whether travelling abroad for fun, school, missionary work, or business, your physical wellbeing is paramount. As Ms. Leikin's experience shows, an...

While on a rainforest hike in Costa Rica, you catch your foot on a liana vine and crash to the ground. As your ankle swells to alarming proportions, you manage to hobble back to the jeep and reach a nearby private hospital. But when you pull out your U.S. health insurance card, the hospital staff shakes their heads. It's cash up front or nothing. This happens more often than you think. Travelers assume their health insurance works overseas — but not every insurance plan will cover you for every destination and situation. If you're planning a trip abroad and wondering, "Do I need travel insurance if I have health insurance?” here's how to find out. Do I need travel insurance if my insurer...

Travel insurance is nothing you should save your hard earned coins on. Because you never know what happens if: You unexpectedly have to cancel your trip last minute An earthquake or other natural disaster strikes your destination You fall sick for no real reason or get injured on your trip Your personal possessions are lost or stolen Travel insurance has saved my butt when I travelled to a remote region in Peru and fell sick with food poisoning and ended up in a private hospital for a night. Horrible night of my life! And I had to board a plane back to the capital Lima the next day. It has also saved me on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand when I caught a nasty eye-infection from who-...

Have you ever had to go to the hospital because of an accident or serious illness? It probably wasn’t fun or cheap, even if you have health insurance. Now imagine the same thing happening to you in a foreign country, with a totally different culture, language, and health care system. Even if you’ve never broken your leg or contracted a serious disease, millions of other people have, and having these things happen to you while abroad can drain your wallet and your time in a big way. Because of this, if you’re planning a trip abroad – particularly to countries with high rates of violence, disease, or both – you need to know about travel health insurance. Having...
