This product is commonly used by an employer to provide medical coverage for employees who are travelling on business however, it may be used as a stand-alone product for individuals or small groups who will be traveling for extended periods of time and may require some follow-up treatment after the initial emergency is attended to, rather than returning home for continued treatment. It is also an excellent solution for students enrolled at educational facilities outside of Canada.

This coverage is provided on a short-term or annual basis.
