Importance of Travel Insurance

Your trip is an investment in yourself, but leaving your home province introduces financial and medical risks. Accidents happen beyond our control, from flight cancellations to medical emergencies abroad. Having the right coverage is essential because it provides:

  • Medical Security: It protects your wallet from exorbitant foreign hospital bills that provincial healthcare does not cover.
  • Trip Protection: Stratis Insurance ensures you have a solid financial safety net for non-refundable costs if you must cancel or interrupt your trip.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing you have 24/7 assistance and financial backing allows you the freedom to focus on the experience.

    FAQ

    Does my provincial health plan cover me while I am away?

    Provincial plans provide extremely limited coverage once you leave your home province (often less than 10% of foreign medical costs). They do not pay upfront for hospitals abroad. Travel medical insurance is necessary to cover the gap and provide immediate assistance.

    What are "Pre-Existing Medical Conditions"?

    A pre-existing condition is any injury or illness that existed before your trip. Policies require these conditions to be “stable” for a specific period (e.g., 90 or 180 days) before travel to be covered. Stratis Insurance ensures you are educated on the definition of stability to avoid claim denials.

    What is the difference between Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption?

    Trip Cancellation covers non-refundable costs if you cannot depart due to a covered reason (like sudden illness). Trip Interruption covers the cost to return home early or rejoin a trip if an emergency occurs after you have already departed.

    Is travel insurance necessary for trips within Canada?

    Yes. While your provincial medical plan works across Canada, it does not cover ambulance fees, prescription drugs, or emergency dental work in other provinces. Furthermore, it does not cover trip cancellation or lost baggage expenses for domestic travel.

    Am I covered if I participate in adventure sports?

    Standard policies often exclude high-risk activities like scuba diving, rock climbing, or backcountry skiing. If you plan on being active, you may need a specialized rider. We seek to remove myths and provide clear direction on covering your specific adventures.

    Does my credit card provide enough travel insurance?

    Credit card coverage varies significantly and often has strict limitations regarding trip duration, age, and pre-existing conditions. It may not cover the full cost of your trip. Stratis Insurance helps you compare your card’s certificate with a comprehensive policy to ensure no gaps exist.
