All standard Medavie Blue Cross travel plans will now cover eligible emergency hospital and medical expenses related to COVID-19, subject to existing maximums and all other terms, conditions and limitations of the policy. Before departure, the plan member must:
• Be symptom free
• Have not tested positive (or be awaiting a test result), and
• Have not been in contact with anyone who tested positive in the last 14 days.
This change in COVID-19 coverage, which is effective for departures between September 1, 2020 and July 15, 2021, is extended to all plans, regardless of funding arrangement or any out-of-country pooling limit. For policies with Trip Cancellation – this provision is not eligible at this time.
