If it is medically impossible for you to call prior to obtaining emergency treatment, we ask that someone call on your behalf. Otherwise, if you do not call the Assistance Centre before you obtain emergency treatment you will have to pay 20% of the eligible medical expenses we would normally pay under this insurance.

The Scotia Travel Insurance certificate should be kept with you at all times when travelling. It includes telephone numbers in case of an emergency or if an extension is required.
