Supervisa insurance is essentially emergency travel insurance. Any routine care or prescriptions are not covered. Your mother will not be covered as part of your extended benefit application.
Super visa insurance provides medical insurance coverage for parents and grandparents of permanent Canadian citizens and residents. Super visa insurance typically covers:
- Emergency medical
- Hospital care
- Emergency dental care
- Diagnostic services such as x-rays
- Prescription medication
- Medical evacuation/emergency return home
- Repatriation of remains
- Travel assistance
- Special coverages, which vary by policy/provider
Some policies may also provide additional insurance for non-emergency medical expenses such as eye exams.
Every policy is different, so be sure to read and compare policies thoroughly before purchasing your super visa insurance, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions. Be sure to read the exclusions.
