Extended Health Care Benefit Details 2010 Outside Canada Emergency Travel Benefits
The outside Canada emergency travel benefit provides additional coverage for specific emergency medical expenses incurred while you are travelling outside Canada. This coverage is automatically effective while you are out of the country. In the event of a medical emergency, contact the travel assistance coordinator within 24 hours. The inside of your ASEBP identification card lists the phone numbers for the travel assistance coordinator. You can access it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere in the world.
If you or your dependents are planning to travel outside the country, you can download the Travelling Outside The Country? brochure using the link below. Note: Dependents attending school outside of Canada are only eligible for the outside Canada emergency travel benefits.
ASEBP will pay the reasonable and customary charges, for emergency services only, in excess of the amount paid by your provincial government health care coverage for:
- emergency travel assistance
- medical evacuation for the person travelling outside of Canada will be covered if medically necessary or where the cost of treating the person is expected to be higher than the cost of transporting the patient back to Alberta
- medical care, including surgery and semi-private hospital accommodation (the hospital must be a public general active treatment hospital)
- the usual services and supplies covered by your Extended Health Care plan
- other benefits
Note: Prescription drugs purchased out of country must be submitted to ASEBP with a medical doctor’s prescription and an explanation of the emergency. For More Information: Emergency Travel Assistance
