How to claim insurance in the event of an emergency?

Claims Assistance:

• In the event of medical emergency you MUST call our assistance centre

  • 1-877-882-2957 (toll free from Canada and USA) or

  • +1 519-251-7856 (call collect to Canada)​

• You must contact the Assistance Centre prior to receiving any medical treatment. If it is medically impossible for you to call when the emergency happens, we ask that you contact the Assistance Centre as soon as you can or that someone call on your behalf. If you fail to contact the Assistance Centre within 24 hours, you will have to pay the first $100 of any medical expenses we would normally pay per claim. This $100 is in addition to any deductible amount that you have selected at the time you purchased your coverage. Also, if you fail to call us within 24 hours of hospitalization, you will have to pay 20% of the medical expenses we would normally pay under this insurance.
