Ingle International has a new outbound travel medical insurance plan. Coverage can be purchased online, from advisors, or through associations and affinity groups.

Ingle announced the launch of its Canuck Voyage travel insurance product on August 16. It allows clients to purchase coverage for single trips of up to 365 days or multi-trip annual plans of up to 100 days per trip. Those between the ages of 60 and 79 years of age are restricted to trips of no more than 35 days.

The insurer says the plan addresses gaps in existing plans in the market, and describes it as solution for Canadians who are already covered by provincial or territorial health programs.

"A straightforward product to help them when it counts"

Applicants of all ages are eligible for companion discounts when purchasing coverage for two people at a time and a family discount is available for spouses up to age 59 and children age 21 and younger. For older clients with pre-existing medical conditions, the plan provides automatic coverage provided they meet the stability period (90 days for people between the ages of 60 and 74, 180 days for ages 75 to 79). Canuck Voyage has an overall maximum limit of $10 million, and a minimum premium of $20.

"The world is changing and travelling consumers deserve a straightforward product to help them when it counts", comments Robin Ingle, CEO and chairman of Ingle International. "The vast majority of people travelling away from home on vacation, visiting relatives or on business are healthy, so why not provide a product that is easy to purchase, has great coverage and 24 / 7 emergency medical assistance support when they need it?"

A summary of the new product's features and benefits is available on the Ingle web site.
