Frequently asked questions

For the best experience, please use up-to-date versions of Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge when purchasing Insurance for Costco members.

Global Affairs Canada states: "Do not rely on your provincial or territorial health plan to cover costs if you get sick or are injured while abroad. Out-of-country health care can be costly, and your government health plan may not cover any medical expenses abroad. It is your responsibility to seek information from your provincial or territorial health authority and to obtain supplementary travel insurance and understand the terms of your policy."

You can opt to purchase coverage for the entire time you are away from your province of residence or just for the portion of your trip that is away from Canada. In other words, the effective date of coverage can be either the last day you are in your province of residence or the last day you are in Canada. As government health insurance plans vary among the provinces and may not provide emergency return home benefits, you should consider coverage for the full length of your trip.

Government health insurance plans may have limits on the reimbursement of the emergency medical expenses incurred while in another province. For example, air and ground ambulance costs, emergency dental treatment and prescription drugs might not be covered outside your province of residence. For maximum protection, you should purchase additional medical coverage even while travelling within Canada.

Yes. Travel Insurance for Costco Members allows top up coverage of another insurer's plan. You are responsible for ensuring that your current coverage is in force and allows top-up. Your top-up coverage is subject to the terms and conditions of the Travel Insurance plan.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your existing plan permits top-ups.

If you are already on your trip, you can extend coverage by calling Customer Service at 1-866-707-4922 provided there has been no event that has resulted or may result in a claim against the policy and there has been no change in your health status. In addition, you must request the extension before your coverage expires and pay the appropriate premium. Extension of your coverage is subject to approval.

If you have a Multi-Trip Plan, you must top-up your coverage before you leave home, by purchasing a Top-Up plan for the additional number of days beyond the duration provided by your Multi-Trip Plan to the maximum allowed by your Canadian government health insurance plan. To top-up your coverage after you leave home, you must call us at 1-866-707-4922.

You may purchase Travel insurance for Students. This plan has been designed for students, including post-graduate researchers.

Yes, grandchildren fall under our definition of a "child" but the dependent grandchild must be named on your confirmation and be travelling with you, and you must pay the premium for Family Coverage. All travellers covered under a family policy must be under 60 years of age.
