Emergency travel medical information

Before you travel

• Carry the emergency travel assistance provider’s current contact information with you when you leave your province.
• Take your provincial health card with you or know your number: __________________.
• Review your coverage as described in your policy. There are some limitations and exclusions to your coverage. Check your policy for details, especially if your health or an existing condition has changed.
• Check the Canadian government’s travel website and read the travel advice and advisory section for your destination: www.travel.gc.ca.
• Keep your proof of travel — receipts for your flight, car rental, hotel accommodation, etc. You’ll need this documentation if you make a claim.

If you have a medical emergency while travelling

• You, someone with you, or hospital staff will need to call Allianz Global Assistance before you receive medical care. Call the emergency travel assistance provider at one of the numbers on the travel card. Service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Any invasive and investigative medical procedures (e.g. surgery, angiogram, MRI) must be pre-authorized by Allianz Global Assistance, except in extreme circumstances. If you don’t contact Allianz Global Assistance, your claim could be reduced or declined.
• When you call the emergency travel assistance number, provide your policy information and describe the situation.
• During the call, your coverage and benefits will be confirmed and you’ll be referred to a medical facility or physician.
• You’ll be asked to provide your hospital, hotel or other telephone number so the emergency travel assistance provider can stay in contact with you.
