Dear Bird Talk, As a Medipac Insurance customer, I am just wondering something. If I have to make a 911 call and all of the first responders (i.e. police, ambulance, fire department, dog catcher, etc.) react, how much coverage do I have through Medipac for their services. We are in Yuma and have heard that […]

Dear Bird Talk, I enjoy very much reading CSANews as I find it offers new perspectives for senior Canadians. In April 2006 retired federal public servants had their coverage for foreign travel health benefits increased from $100,000.00 to $500,000.00 for a continuous forty day period. Added health and surgical features were also announced. In view […]

Dear Bird Talk, I am concerned about Medipac travel insurance. The policy on page 2 states as follows: “You or someone on Your behalf (if you are unable to do so) MUST call Medipac Assist BEFORE You seek Medical Treatment.” If my wife or I suddenly had an emergency, such as on of us collapsing, […]

Dear Bird Talk, I am 85 years old and have taken health insurance every year going south for the past 15 years. I often wondered what would happen if I needed help. While in Las Vegas, I broke my hip. I had wonderful treatment from the first phone call. Medipac took care of everything, even […]
