Sometimes  you or your partner, family member, friend, etc. will require special medical underwriting in order to qualify for medical insurance - either out of Canada, or Visitors or returning Canadians. Many pre existing conditions can be covered but not all! The companies listed below will review your application and advise if they are able to cover your conditions.  Please, contact our office first to review your personal requirements as we may have a regular plan which will adequately cover you without having to go through this special process!

Our office has 4  medical underwriting  plans for Canadian residents traveling out of Canada:

Manulife Individual Medical Underwriting Plan (MFTI) - phone 1 800 501 4781 to get a quote. If you like their offer, advise them Ray Battiston is your Broker, and our Broker Code is 559100.  MFTI will fax us the paper work, and we in turn will get hold of you and arrange to issue coverage.

In some cases you may need special underwriting in order to cover pre existing conditions. When this is the case we suggest TIC Travel Insurance Coordinators LTD at http://www.ecanadianinsurance.com/MedicalRBI.pdf   The client signature must be on this form and it can be faxed or mailed back to my office.

In addition to our office there are many other sources of competing special or Medical Underwriting offers. Since we only are familiar with our own contracted companies, we do not recommend other competing plans.  Unfortunately there are some health conditions which can not be insured for any amount of premium.
