ATB Financial - Insurance - Travel Protection

Just imagine how long it would take you to pay one of these medical bills yourself? These are actual claims that individuals have experienced while travelling outside Canada. Instead, why not let OneWorld Assist Inc. handle these claims for you?

Claimant	Medical problem	Total cost (CAD)
35 year-old male	Hospitalized in California due to motorcycle accident	$1,045,607
49 year-old female	Hospitalized in Arizona due to pneumonia	$66,000
29 year-old male	Hospitalized in Thailand due to decompression sickness	$40,000
47 year-old male	Hospitalized in Finland due to heart attack	$20,000
34 year-old female	Hospitalized in New York due to abdominal pain	$11,000
18 year-old female	Hospitalized in Switzerland due to leg fracture	$11,000

Think these kind of claims can only happen outside of Canada?

That’s probably what this couple thought as well….

In September 2004, they were in Montreal, Quebec when part way into their trip one of them unexpectedly experienced a ruptured appendix. Without travel insurance, this event would have added $4,202.66 CAD to the cost of their trip (including returning their vehicle home to BC, out of pocket expenses for spouse, hotel, food and phone calls). For only a fraction of this cost, this couple purchased a travel insurance policy, which provided them help and peace of mind when they needed it the most.

Still Not Convinced?

You may think a medical emergency will not happen to you, but the reality is that seeking treatment for even the smallest medical concern can end up being very costly. Consider the following average costs (in CAD) for treatment in the US of some common medical issues: *

Appendectomy - $30,000
Broken arm - $7,000
Minor food poisoning - $1,500
Common Flu - $1,300
Emergency room evaluation - $900
