You must contact Allianz Global
Assistance within forty-eight
hours of any of the above events
occurring in order to submit a
claim for trip cancellation, delay,
or interruption, and will need
to submit documented evidence
of the emergency situation that
caused the delay or cancellation,
as well as proof that the travel
arrangement costs for which you
are claiming are non-refundable.
In the event of injury or sickness,
you may also need to submit
a statement from a physician
confirming your diagnosis.
More information on the group
trip cancellation/interruption/
delay coverage embedded in the
Total Health and Ultimate Health
plans is available on the ARTA

If you are not covered by the
ARTA Retiree Benefits Plan
but still travel (for example,
if you are covered under your
spouse’s employer-sponsored
group benefit plan or another
group emergency travel plan that
does not include embedded trip
cancellation insurance coverage),
ARTA also has a separate ‘stand-
alone’ trip cancellation plan
available for ARTA members.
The stand-alone plan covers all of
the trips you may take outside of
your province of residence. Given
that the coverage is a stand-alone
product, it is different from the
embedded trip cancellation plan
described earlier. Additional
information on the plan,
including a plan summary
brochure and premium rates, are
available on the ARTA website.
The trip cancellation plans
offered by ARTA are a valuable
benefit for our members and are
yet another reason why ARTA’s
emergency travel plan continues
to be the jewel in the ARTA
Retiree Benefits Plan crown. ●
