Deluxe Travel Health

Emergency travel health coverage for your trip.

Health expenses incurred outside of Manitoba are not fully covered by Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors.

A comprehensive Deluxe Travel Health Plan from Manitoba Blue Cross guards against financial loss due to unexpected emergency medical bills incurred beyond Manitoba borders.

Deluxe Travel Health Benefits

Deluxe Travel Health Refunds

Deluxe Travel Health Extensions

Is the original term of your policy no longer sufficient?

You may extend the duration of your original policy if:

• Medical attention has not been received during initial term.
• A claim has not been incurred during the initial term.
• You request the extension prior to the expiry date of your policy.
• The extension is for all benefits purchased on the original policy.

Your original policy plus the extension cannot exceed:

• Under Age 55 - 183 days
• Age 55 to 74 (no pre-existing conditions) - 183 days
• Age 55 to 74 (with pre-existing conditions) - 62 days
• Age 75 & Over - 62 days

* At no extra cost, Deluxe Travel Health will be extended for up to 72 hours after the scheduled return date in the following circumstances.

• If due to a medical emergency you are hospitalized on your last day of coverage (as determined by the terms of your Travel Plans Application), your benefits will remain in force throughout the period of hospitalization, plus 72 hours following your discharge from hospital.
• For trips less than 32 days, the automatic extension applies only if your return is delayed due to the fault of the carrier in which you are a fare-paying passenger. A claim under this benefit must be supported by a letter from the transportation authority confirming the period of delay.
• For trips of more than 32 days, the automatic extension applies regardless of the reason for the delay.

If you've opted to include the Travel Accident Plan on your Deluxe Travel Health Plan, the term of coverage must be the same on both plans including any extensions. Contact Manitoba Blue Cross or an authorized agent for further information or to make the necessary arrangements.
