Experiencing an emergency while travelling?

Worried about the possibility of a medical health emergency while travelling?

Simply Benefits can help with the aid of our partnered travel carriers.

What is OOP and OOC Travel Insurance?

Travel Insurance provides financial aid to assist in unforeseen events during traveling such a medical emergency or theft of personal documents and items.

OOP - Out of Province insurance

Out of province insurance is important due to the vast changes in fees/expenses in medical expenses between provinces. Your provincial medical plan will only cover expenses up to the reasonable and standard amount of your province of residence. This can leave you covering the remaining costs.

OOC – Out of Country.

Your provincial health plan will not cover expenses incurred outside of the country. This is why it is important to travel with health insurance to ensure you are not stuck unable to pay medical fees in a medical emergency.

What is Covered?

If a medical emergency occurs during your trip, travel insurance will provide aid with

Medical bills

Transportation

Clinic fees

Legal Fees

And More…

We suggest calling the number found on your Electronic Benefit Card to speak to an agent who can inform you on further details of your plan. You can find your electronic benefits card by selecting “ Benefits Card” in the menu selection of your member app / portal.
