 | Great news for AMA members and their families who travel!
AMA members can now purchase new Manulife Travel Insurance at specially negotiated savings of 10% off existing affordable rates. Travel insurance plans help save members on unexpected medical costs, which is important, because anything can happen when you travel and out-of-pocket costs can add up:
- 56,687 Canadian travellers claimed in-patient or out-patient
medical expenses outside Canada between 2017 and 2018.1
- $10,700 USD is the average cost of a U.S. hospital stay.2
- $20,000 is the cost of treatment for a broken leg in the U.S.3
- 28% of travel insurance claims by Canadians are due to
accidents causing injury.4
Because different types of travellers need different types of coverage, a range of plans is being offered, at savings not available to the general public.
-
Single trip for those travelling once a year
- Multi-trip for those travelling more than once a year
-
All Inclusive covers emergency medical, as well as
Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, and Protection of Baggage
and personal effects
- Student traveller plans for students studying abroad or out of province
- Visitors to Canada plans for relatives or friends visiting from abroad
Applying is easy and convenient
AMA members can visit the Manulife website to learn more, get a quote, apply and save 10% – all online.
