Option B1 - Health/Hospital Insurance

Teachers who have Medavie Blue Cross coverage under the PEITF Plan should be aware that there is usually no need to purchase additional travel insurance. However, limitations and exclusions relating to pre-existing medical conditions do apply. Please be sure to carefully review the details of the ‘Travel Health Benefits-Out of Province/Out of Country’ on pages 41 to 45 of your booklet prior to travelling to determine whether these apply to you. Services provided to monitor, stabilize or continue the treatment of any existing medical condition are not covered. Whether or not you do purchase additional travel insurance is your decision.
