Out-of-Country Travel

We offer reinsurance solutions for the following specialty risks:

Group Referral 
Certain group insurance products may provide out of country insurance benefits if the person insured is referred by a doctor for a medical treatment not available in Canada. We offer reinsurance solution with a suitable framework to cover such benefits.

Expatriates 
An expatriate is an employee sent by his or her employer to work in a foreign country. We can provide reinsurance solutions to expatriates anywhere in the world. We have the knowledge and unique expertise to offer an appropriate level of coverage and service, as well as managing the complex repatriation process in many different countries.

Foreign visitors 
Inpatriate Health insurance provides foreign visitors, new and returning Canadians, and their families with temporary coverage during the waiting periods required to satisfy the residency requirements for provincial health insurance plan. We can provide reinsurance solution for this coverage.

U.S. Local Nationals 
A challenging area for Canadian insurance companies is providing medical coverage for their American employees who are living and working in the U.S. The difficulties typically range from making the proper risk assessment to offering a satisfactory level of local services to these employees in addition to conforming to the complex state and federal legislation.
