Deductibles in Visitors to Canada Insurance: What Families Should Understand
When buying Visitors to Canada Insurance, many families see the word deductible and feel confused. What does it mean? How does it affect cost and coverage?
The good news is: deductibles are simple once you understand them. For Indian families bringing parents or grandparents to Canada, knowing how deductibles work can help you save money without putting your loved ones at risk.
What is a Deductible?
A deductible is the amount you agree to pay out of pocket before the insurance company covers the rest.
If you choose a higher deductible, your premium (monthly cost) is usually lower.
If you choose a lower deductible, your premium is higher, but the insurance covers more right away.
Example: How Deductibles Work
Imagine your parent has a hospital bill of $5,000.
With a $0 deductible, the insurance pays the full $5,000.
With a $1,000 deductible, your family pays $1,000, and the insurance pays the remaining $4,000.
With a $2,500 deductible, you pay $2,500, and insurance pays $2,500.
So, the higher the deductible, the more you risk paying during a claim—but the cheaper your monthly premium will be.
