Insurance

Our goal is to provide high quality outpatient health care in an all-inclusive facility as well as emergency hospitalization, with as little out-of-pocket expense to Travelers as possible. We strive to work with your insurance company and file claims for you while minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses. We realize that most of our winter residence are on fixed incomes and need to plan their budgets accordingly. We will work with you in any way we can to help you achieve your goal of good health and live within your budget. We except Canadian Travel insurance under the terms and conditions of your policy. We also accept other foreign and domestic travel insurance policies. We will file your insurance claims and will work with you to obtain your covered benefits.

To utilize your Travelers insurance policy at CanCare Clinic, it is necessary for you to obtain an authorization number from your insurance carrier. You'll find a toll-free number on your insurance card and/or policy that you must call in order to report your medical condition and to obtain the authorization number. This authorization number is the identifier by which we file your claim. Along with your personal, insurance, billing and provincial information, we are able to process and file your insurance claim with your company so that benefits are paid for the services rendered.
