Global Expatriate Hospital & Medical Plans

Do you plan to live or work in another country? Maybe you're a new resident of Canada or just returned after spending time abroad. Whatever the situation, you may not have coverage under a government health insurance plan. Meanwhile, anything can happen, including an unexpected illness or accident.

With travel insurance from The Co-operators, you can choose between the Basic Plan, with a policy limit of $100,000, and the Select Plan, with policy limits of $500,000 or $1 million. You can also choose worldwide coverage, including the USA (in US currency) or excluding the USA (in Canadian currency).

Basic Plan


  • Hospital & Medical Coverage: Up to the amount of insurance purchased for hospital accommodation (semi-private) and medical services, plus prescription drugs or medications (maximum 90-day supply).
  • Accidental Dental: Up to $3,000 for treatment or services to whole or sound natural teeth which are damaged by an accidental blow to the face.
  • Dental Emergencies: Up to $500 for treatment to relieve acute dental pain, other than provided under Accidental Dental, and up to $500 for dental surgical procedures performed in a hospital.
  • Act of Terrorism: If you sustain a loss from an act of terrorism that is covered under this plan we will pay up to an aggregate limit in Canadian dollars.
  • Routine Examinations: Up to $200 for one routine annual examination by a licensed physician, plus one routine, annual eye examination by a licensed optometrist.
