Get a tax credit for medical expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s right: the premium paid for your travel medical insurance is part of your medical expenses and can give you a tax credit. Travel insurance premiums of “non-medical” protections, such as trip cancellation and interruption insurance, or baggage insurance, are not tax deductible however.<\/p>\n

Get your documents from the Tour+Med Client Portal<\/strong><\/p>\n

To calculate this in your medical expenses, you must have proper documentation. At Tour+Med, we stopped providing a document entitled “tax receipt” since it was an additional page in an already voluminous document, but mostly because all the necessary information can be found on page 1 of your Travel Insurance Confirmation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What if your policy was modified after purchase?<\/strong><\/p>\n

By experience, we know a travel insurance policy can be modified many times, due to a change in your medication or to your trip dates, for example. The premium you finally paid could differ from the one presented on your Travel Insurance Confirmation<\/em>. If that’s your case, you’re invited to use the Client Portal to download the receipt showing the official premium paid for your policy, after modifications.<\/p>\n

How to get it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connect to the client portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on RECEIPTS<\/strong> on the home page.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the applicable policy number from the dropdown menu to see the receipt. You can download it or print it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
