traveler's medical insurance for eastern Canada

We plan to spend several weeks in eastern Canada in August and September where we will not be covered by our Medicare medical insurance. I looked up "traveler's medical insurance Canada" and found several listings. "TuGo" had the lowest rates.

Our ages are 79 and 86. We would welcome some input before selecting a policy.

    We used to use TUGO for travel to the U.S. My wife had a small claim for a minor medical issue a couple of years ago and it was handled quickly and efficiently. The only reason we no longer use them is that I am now eligible for a discounted plan through my former employer.

    We've used Seven Corners for out of country coverage. I thought it was pretty reasonable. Happy to say we never had to use it!

    if you have a supplement it may cover your medical.

    medicare does NOT cover anyone out of the US. many times people don't realize this in mexico.

    My wife uses TuGO when we travel in the USA.

    She's had some health issues (broken wrist) and was happy with how they handled it.

    We purchased travel insurance from this company for a three month stay in Canada:
