Snowbirds! Not the Canadian icon or the Canadian aerobatics Team that give the beautiful flight performances with such skill and professionalism.

Snowbirds (people), as mentioned in Wikipedia, "the ladies and gentlemen, the majority of them retirees, that spend long periods of mainly the Winter months in warmer climates - Florida, California, the Caribbean, Mexico and some even Australia and South Africa”.

Being away from "home", (and here it will be the principal home, as many have their second homes in these warmer climates) and not being covered by a Health Plan, with a medical emergency or other challenge at hand can be daunting.

So, before you go, as you prepare for the warmer and relaxing months ahead, take a few minutes to have your Canadian Health and Dental Insurance coverage in place, in case of need.

I.D.C. Insurance Direct Canada Inc. partnered with Group Medical Services (GMS) and offers a unique travel insurance plan designed especially for Snowbirds.

But as I.D.C. Insurance Direct Canada is a broker company, it also represents other Insurance Companies and the Medical Health Plans Team is always able to also offer you the best rate and coverage.

Along with travel insurance, snowbird insurance and visitors to Canada insurance, Medical Health Plans provides quotes for affordable individual and group medical insurance plus family health and dental insurance plans in Canada; serving clients in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the Maritimes.
