In a major development in Canada’s global health insurance industry, PPI, the administrators of triAccess®, have announced their insureds may transition to VUMI® Canada’s Prestige VIP plan. The transition provides access to comprehensive coverage with features that insureds had been seeking for their supplemental global insurance plan, including: receiving treatment from renowned physicians at top-tier hospitals, the freedom to use cutting edge technology via the MyVUMI™ app or the VUMI® portal, and the comfort of experiencing VIP Concierge Service.
As wait times to be seen and treated by a physician keep spiraling upward, many Canadians are turning to private insurance as a way to protect their health, and that of their families. “We are honored to be given the opportunity to assist Canadians in their quest for the peace of mind that a comprehensive plan can offer,” comments Gino Stirpe, Vice President of VUMI® Canada. “We’ve designed Prestige VIP to offer lower premiums and expanded benefits. The transition does not involve underwriting, or the standard 2-year pre-existing conditions clause. The process will be seamless. It’s all part of our VIP service commitment and placing the best interests of our clients first.”
At a glance, transitioning to VUMI® Canada offers insureds:
Lifetime coverage with no “aging out” at 70 or beyond
Emergency travel coverage
