Travel Health Insurance

Effective April 1, 2026, Emergency Medical Travel Insurance for Memorial employees and retirees transitioned from Beneva (formerly SSQ) to Medavie Blue Cross. The coverage provided by Medavie Blue Cross mirrors the travel benefit offered by Beneva, ensuring no loss in benefits for employees and retirees.

Medavie Blue Cross mailed new benefits cards for health, dental and travel to Memorial employees and retirees in March. If you have not received your new Blue Cross card please check, and update if necessary, the home address you have on file with Human Resources. To check and update your address on file, please follow the Instructions to update your address within Employee Self-Service. If you update your home address and need a replacement card sent to you, please submit a case in the HR Case Management channel in Employee Self-Service. Your new card is also available electronically through the Medavie Blue Cross website or app.

The new Medavie Blue Cross coverage includes Flight Delay Service. Details on this coverage can be found below. In order for a flight to be eligible, it must be registered at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure. Flights can be registered online at flightdelayservice.ca.
