Active Healthcare Travel Plan - Update

Sep 29, 2022

Expanded direct billing in the U.S.

Effective October 1, 2022, members will be eligible for direct billing with the 95 per cent of physicians, hospitals and clinics across the U.S. who are a part of the CanAssistance network.

Travel Top-up Option

Manitoba Blue Cross has introduced travel top-up coverage options that can be directly purchased through them effective October 1, 2022. These options provide for an extension of group travel health benefits beyond the 90-day trip limitation. Please note that you must contact Manitoba Blue Cross directly as these options are not available through HEB Manitoba.

The Travel Healthcare Summary has been updated to reflect the changes.

For more information about extending travel coverage or expanded direct billing to the U.S., contact Manitoba Blue Cross during regular business hours at 204-775-0151 or toll free at 1-888-596-1032.
