Travel Partners

MEDOC Travel Insurance through Johnson Inc. offers annual emergency medical travel insurance that coordinates with both the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP) and your provincial government health insurance plan. 

Federal Retirees members benefit from a specially designed plan that offers comprehensive coverage at an exceptional rate. 

Please note that an active Federal Retirees membership in good standing is required to be eligible for MEDOC travel insurance. For Federal Retirees members with partners who would like to take advantage of MEDOC as well, an active  double membership is required. Note:  For those who were Federal Retirees members with continuous MEDOC coverage since 2017 or earlier and who have maintained continuous membership in Federal Retirees since, double membership is not required to obtain MEDOC coverage.

 

I have 40 days coverage with PSHCP, why should I buy MEDOC?

And More

The MEDOC annual base plan provides emergency medical coverage for an unlimited number of trips per policy year up to 40 days each for out of country travel (includes unlimited number of trips within Canada of any duration), for claims that exceed $1, 000,000 (the coverage provided by your PSHCP). For claims exceeding $1,000,000, the following are examples of what is provided in addition to your PSHCP coverage:

  • In hospital private duty nursing
  • Up to $5,000 for emergency dental expenses; PSHCP covers this benefit up to a maximum of $2,000 per emergency, so you can claim up to an additional $5,000 if you have MEDOC, and your emergency dental expenses are in excess of $2,000. 
  • Up to $600 for emergency relief of dental pain.
  • Incidental hospital expenses (TV, telephone, etc.) MEDOC covers up to $50 per day, or up to a maximum of $2,000 per insured. 
  • Return of Deceased provides coverage of up to $15,000 for preparation and transportation of the deceased.
  • PSHCP insures up to $2,500 in total for all additional hotel and meals expenses. MEDOC covers up to $350 per day, or up to a maximum of $3,500 per insured. So if your emergency is within the first 40 days of your trip, and you incur this expense, you can claim $2,500 from the PSHCP plan and then a further $3,500 from MEDOC if you incur in excess of $2,500 for additional hotel and meal expenses.
  • PSHCP covers 80% of emergency related medications prescribed while out of Canada and MEDOC will reimburse the other 20% of emergency related medications prescribed while out of Canada.
