Ask a travel expert: What do Ontario’s changes to OHIP coverage mean for my travel plans? tgamtravel

Snowbirds, in particular, could be adversely affected if that were to happen.

But, based on discussions with THIA’s members, who represent the majority of insurers offering coverage in Canada, this doesn’t seem to be the case, McAleer says. He notes that most insurance programs are priced nationally and OHIP is an Ontario only issue. So, what should you do instead of worrying about the OHIP changes? McAleer suggests you know your health issues and any conditions that could affect your coverage before signing up for a policy and make sure you understand the policy you’re purchasing. Don’t hesitate to ask clarity questions, via the online forms or 1-800 numbers. You’ll also want to understand the assistance services that are included with the policy.

It also helps to understand the trip you’re purchasing for. If you’re planning on something more adventurous ask specifically about your coverage for that activity, he suggests.“You don’t want to try to answer [questions about your policy] when you’re sitting in an emergency room,” McAleer says. “That’s the last place you want to check the fine print on your travel insurance policy.”Need some travel advice or have a question about life on the road?
