Addressing the Hidden Gap: What Most Travellers Overlook About Local Health Regulations Abroad

At Canadian LIC, we have found most travelers are not aware even the top-rated Travel Health Insurance Canada plans may experience hold-ups in processing or claims rejection if the insurer is not accustomed to unique reporting practice of local medical facilities worldwide.

But, for example, in some parts of Southeast Asia or South America, some hospitals require upfront payment, regardless of insurance. If you do not follow local reporting processes or provide required documentation in the right format, these claims may only be reimbursed later on, sometimes weeks after your return. Canadian LIC actively informs its customers on these subtleties to assist when comparing policies, it’s advice over and above just trying to sell a policy. We also have a real-time database of known country-specific medical compliance requirements allowing you to avoid delays and increase claim acceptance.

This kind of real-life information is invaluable to consumers when making their choices, which in reality also helps raise-travelers not only select a Travel Medical Insurance plan from a good looking piece of paper, but one that works well in practice no matter where your travels may take you.
