Hi Mandi, That was one of the companies I was looking at as well ;D It was either them or Blue Cross. But I am leaning towards RBC because it looks like they offer a bit more coverage than Blue Cross. Until then (19 days left ;D) Ali
I went with CAA medical insurance. Just make sure that it's medical insurance and not just travel insurance. See you guys soon, Sandra
I went with South-Easthope Insurance when I went down and they covered a lot for cheap. It's run out of Tavistock, Ontario, so depending on where you are, it may not be the easiest to access. Also just for the record.....I don't know what you've been told, but when I went down, I was told that I would definitely be covered after the first three months I think it was. What they fail to mention, is that yes, you will have to pay big bucks for the Disney Insurance. I declined the option of whether to take it or not, and didn't need it at all in the end. I did sprain my ankle while I was down there, but it wasn't serious enough to need insurance of any sort. I just used the Cast Member medical building to get checked out. So anyway, after your first three months, if you're careful enough, I wouldn't bother getting it. Jacqueline
I pay about $10 a week for insurance down here and that's medical, dental and vision. Some people down here just got letters saying that they have 10 days to get insurance through Disney or prove that they have their own. If they don't, it's grounds for termination and they will not be able to work. As far as the cast medical services building.... I went there with a work related injury and they were fine. I asked about non-work related and they said that they won't except you unless you hurt yourself at work. My roommate tried to go in when she was really, really sick and they wouldn't even look at her. In my mind... I'd rather be safe and have insurance than to take the chance and need it while I'm here.
