There are two different kinds of deductibles: Per-claim and Per-policy period.
A per-claim deductible means that the insured individual must pay a new deductible for every incident. For example, The insured was once injured and once had the flu; he must pay the deductible once for the injury and then a second time for the flu treatment.
A per-policy period deductible is when the insured individual must pay the deductible only once during the insurance policy’s entire duration. If your plan has a $100 deductible, the insured individual pays the first $100 of all the expenses, and then the insurance company pays anything incurred after that. As the deductible becomes higher, the premium becomes lower and the same vice versa.

Even medical policies that include pre-existing conditions do not reimburse expenses to maintain the state of the pre-existing medical condition. Nonetheless, the emergency medical insurance policy will cover complications that require medical attention, death from that pre-existing condition and hospitalization.
Be straightforward and tell all details related to your pre-existing medical conditions. If you have a $30,000 to $80,000 claim after suffering a Strock in Canada, the insurance company will likely dig into your medical history.

– Does the insurance plan cover pre-existing conditions? Some policies cover stable pre-existing conditions.
– What is the lookback period for pre-existing conditions? The shorter the lookback period, the better for the policyholders. Some companies require the condition to appear before 4 or 6 months, not to be considered pre-existing. Other insurance policies have lifetime lookback periods for medical conditions.
– Do I have to go to pre-approved medical service providers in case of a medical emergency? Some plans limit or refuse payments if you use unapproved providers for medical services.
Please, read all the fine print and ask questions before you buy. Carry proof of your insurance with you on your trip. And shop around – there is a big difference in policy features and costs. But do not pick a policy on price alone.
