Business owners and employees with Extended Health Care (EHC) coverage and insured with the non-profit Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan are covered for Emergency Medical Services while traveling across Canada and around the globe with no restrictions including the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Eligible dependents including students, who incur charges for emergency medical treatment outside their province of residence, are also covered. An individual must be covered under their provincial government health plans to be eligible for coverage. Coverage for an insured and any dependents is based on the age of the certificate holder.
