Out-of-Province Emergency Travel Medical Insurance

Gives you access to 24/7 emergency travel assistance and medical coverage.

Am I covered for pre-existing medical conditions while I travel?

This insurance provides coverage for pre-existing medical conditions as long as the stability requirements outlined in your Certificate of Insurance are met.

You are not covered for expenses resulting from or relating to any pre-existing medical condition if, in the 90 days (180 days if you are aged 65 or over) before your departure date, that condition or a related condition has not been stable.

Are my spouse and children covered under the Out-of-Province Emergency Travel Medical insurance on my card?

As the Primary Cardholder, you, your spouse and your dependent children have emergency medical insurance coverage up to the amount of $5,000,000 CAD, per insured person, per trip.

You also have access to our emergency travel services when you travel outside your Canadian province or territory of permanent residence.

Do I need to call before I see a doctor while travelling?

Yes, you must call the Assistance and Claims Service Provider at the first available opportunity when you need emergency medical service.

The Assistance and Claims Service Provider is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If in Canada or the U.S.A., call toll-free at 1-866-363-3338 or call collect at (905) 403-3338 (from anywhere else in the world).

If you do not call the Assistance and Claims Service Provider, the medical treatment you receive may not be covered by this insurance.

Does this insurance cover dental?

This insurance covers up to $2,000 for emergency dental treatment at your trip destination, to repair or replace your natural teeth as the result of an accidental blow to the face.

Both the accident and treatment must occur within the coverage period outlined in your Certificate of Insurance.

Coverage is also provided for charges of up to $200 for emergency relief of dental pain at your trip destination. This excludes crowns and root canals.

Does this medical policy cover chiropractic treatments?

Yes. This insurance covers charges up to a maximum of $300 each for the services of a licensed chiropractor, physiotherapist, chiropodist, podiatrist or osteopath when they are needed due to an emergency that occurs during your trip. The services that are covered include x-rays.

Be sure to keep your receipts because you will need them to make your claim.

I am 70 years old. Am I covered for medical emergencies under the Out of Province Medical Insurance Coverage that is included on my CIBC card?

Each card offers a different level of coverage for travelers over the age of 65. Please check your Certificate of Insurance or call 1 866 363-3338 to confirm.

I have a heart condition; will I be covered if I travel and have a heart attack?

This insurance provides coverage for pre-existing medical conditions as long as the stability requirements outlined in your Certificate of Insurance are met.

You will not be covered if in the 90 days (180 days if you are aged 65 and over) before your trip, your heart condition has not been stable, or you have taken nitroglycerin more than once per week specifically for the relief of angina pain.

Insurance coverage(s) included with CIBC credit cards are underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA). Different cards will have different coverage(s). To learn about which coverage(s) are included with a specific card, and important information regarding coverage eligibility requirements, benefits, limitations and exclusions, see our Agreements and Insurance page and the insurance certificate(s) in your card package. Some insurance coverage(s) require purchase(s), auto rentals, common carrier fares and other trip costs to be charged to the card to activate coverage. Other conditions may also apply. Auto Rental Collision and Loss Damage Insurance (CLDI) is available for automobile rentals of up to 48 days for rental vehicles with a MSRP up to $65,000 (the CIBC Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege Card covers rental vehicles with a MSRP up to $85,000). The full cost of the rental must be charged to the card and the rental agency’s Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) must be declined. CLDI provides coverage up to the actual cash value (ACV) of the rental vehicle as defined in your insurance certificate. Note that some rental agencies may assess their damages at an amount greater than the ACV of the rental vehicle and you may be liable to them for the difference. Before declining the rental agency’s CDW or LDW, you should read carefully and compare the terms of the rental agreement, the CLDI insurance certificate in your card package and any other insurance you own to decide which coverage best meets your protection needs. For the CIBC Aventura Infinite Visa card, CIBC Aventura World MasterCard or CIBC Aventura World Elite MasterCard, Out-of-Province Emergency Travel Medical Insurance (TMI) covers the primary cardholder, their spouse and dependent children for the first 15 days of a trip if the insured person is age 64 or under, or for the first 3 days of a trip if the insured person is age 65 or older. Dependent children must be under 21 years of age or under 25 years of age if a full-time student, unless they have a permanent physical or mental impairment. TMI, Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance may not cover certain pre-existing health/medical conditions. Certain RSA coverages are “excess insurance” (all other sources of insurance and recovery must be exhausted before coverage is available). For more information, call RSA toll-free at 1 866 363 3338 in Canada or the United States or collect from elsewhere at + 905 403 3338.
