Travel is usually a chance to unwind, explore, and step away from the everyday routine. But sometimes medical or accidental dental emergencies can happen when you are far from home.
With ASEBP’s Emergency Travel Benefits, you can travel confidently, knowing you have support if the unexpected occurs. As part of your Extended Health Care plan, travel benefits provide comprehensive health and limited dental coverage for emergency expenses while you are travelling outside your province, or territory, of residence.
But what should you do if you suddenly need emergency medical or dental care? And how do you handle charges, paperwork, or payments when you are in an unfamiliar place?
ASEBP understands that these situations can be overwhelming and has created a how-to guide to help you navigate an emergency while you are away.
Before you go, make sure you are prepared
- Review the Travel page as you plan your trip so you know what is – and what is not – covered by your ASEBP Emergency Travel Benefits.
- Make sure you have your ASEBP ID and provincial health care numbers for you and your dependants before you leave.
- Read the How to Submit an Emergency Travel Claim guide to find out how to submit a claim and what required documentation, invoices, and receipts you will need.
- Visit the Explanation of Travel Claim Process section to understand what happens once your claim is submitted.
Taking a few minutes to prepare now can make all the difference if the unexpected happens while you and your dependants are away.
