Travel insurance for pregnant

[LucasCorreia]

Hi I have a question about travel insurance. My cuz, she is pregnant and she is planning come visit and have birth in Canada.

[ArbetovInsurance]

Hi, so I should tell you that none of the companies in Canada will cover the delivery. The most they cover is up to 31 weeks of pregnancy.

[LucasCorreia]

She is about 3 month pregnant.

[ArbetovInsurance]

You can get her coverage until she is 31 weeks pregnant.

[LucasCorreia]

Ad when she is due any insurance will cover that?

[ArbetovInsurance]

No. They won't cover it, because it's not a risk..the woman will be giving birth for sure so they do not cover it,

[LucasCorreia]

So no companies will cover pregnancy insurance in Canada ,,,,or is there any way around that she can pay percentage.

[ArbetovInsurance]

The delivery no, absolutely none. She should still be covered in my opinion in case of complications or pre term delivery. If she delivers before the 31 weeks, they will cover it.

[LucasCorreia]

If she purchase that full cover from the travel agency before she come is that insurance been accepted by the Canadian hospitals.

[ArbetovInsurance]

It should. But the problem is to get reimbursed by these companies. She will have to call her country of origin and deal with it then. She will need to pay the amount here first, since the hospitals can't know if the company is legit. It's definitely easier to purchase Canadian insurance.

[LucasCorreia]

Ummm ok.

[ArbetovInsurance]

That's from experience.

[LucasCorreia]

Do you think if she buy Canadian insurance she will be covered?

[ArbetovInsurance]

For what?

[LucasCorreia]

For the birth.
