We agree to pay for hospital accommodation, including semi-private room, and for reasonable and customary services and supplies necessary for your emergency care during confinement as a resident in-patient.
We agree to pay for the following services, supplies, or treatment, resulting from a covered sickness or injury, when provided by a health practitioner who is not related to you by blood or marriage:

b) Follow-up visits as prescribed by the attending physician at the time of the emergency. Follow-up visits must occur during the period of coverage and be directly related to the emergency. The emergency must occur during the period of coverage and have been reported to AGA.
Follow-up treatment needed as a result of any sickness or injury that took place while you were in your country of origin during the period of coverage will be covered only on prior approval by AGA. Ongoing expenses resulting from such sickness or injury will not be covered, unless approved in advance by AGA. AGA reserves the right, as reasonably required and at its expense, to transport you to your country of origin following an emergency.

We agree to pay up to a maximum of $3,000 for the cost to transport one family member or close friend to your bedside by round-trip economy class (using the most direct route) if:

Reimbursement will not exceed the minimum fee specified in the Canadian Dental Association schedule of fees of the province or territory where treatment was received. Treatment relating to any dental claim must begin within 48 hours after the onset of the emergency and must be completed within the period of coverage and prior to your return to your country of origin. Treatment must be performed by a legally qualified dentist or oral surgeon.
When necessary, we agree to transport you to your country of origin when immediate medical consultation is required due to a covered emergency sickness or injury. Any emergency transportation such as air ambulance, one-way economy airfare, stretcher and/or a medical attendant must be pre-approved and arranged by AGA.
If a covered sickness or injury requires you to be returned home during the period of coverage, we agree to reimburse up to $3,000 for the additional cost of one-way economy transportation by the most direct route for you and one insured family member to your country of origin when approved and arranged by AGA. Your coverage under this policy ceases once you have been returned to your country of origin under this benefit.
