Travel is full of unexpected adventures. In an emergency medical situation, however, you may not always know where to turn or be prepared to deal with sudden additional expenses to get you well and get you home. Your provincial health care coverage is limited, even within Canada.
With ENCON’s Annual Travel Insurance Plan, you can travel with confidence, knowing that help is just a phone call away.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, it will be covered provided it has remained stable for a period of six months immediately prior to departure.
For high blood pressure conditions only, the stabilization period is three months.
A pre-existing medical condition is considered stable, if there has been:
- no change in symptoms;
- no hospitalization;
- no change in condition;
- no new medication prescribed; and
- no prescribed change in treatment or medication.
After enrollment, you will be issued a personalized travel card with a contact number that you can call to top up your coverage or in the event of a claim. In an emergency situation, one phone call will connect you with an experienced and professional team, who will arrange and monitor treatment, and provide support to the patient and family. When necessary, they will organize evacuation home or to the nearest qualified medical facility.
