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, Your J. Ross Quigley expounded in the fall issue of your CSANews that “our strategy to confront aggressive billing departments, combined with Medipac’s reputation for paying our claims, has proven very successful.” We were involved in a rather unfortunate car accident on December 31, 2010 at KeyWest, FL, but we can confirm […]

Dear Bird Talk, I would like to take this opportunity to speak to the letter from R.W. McClure in the summer issue of CSANews regarding the medical coverage offered to retired civil servants, military and RCMP. R.W.

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 […]

Gentlemen: Re: $40.00 Surcharge With regard to your CSA News article regarding the $40.00 surcharge that Medipac adds to their out-of-province health insurance policies. It is Not Fair that Federal Government employees must pay a $40.00 penalty because the Federal Government has a MEDOC Plan of out-of-province insurance available to them for the first 40 […]

Can anyone comment on what happens if you overstay your 182 days in the U.S.? I understand that the IRS can consider you taxable on worldwide income, but do they contact you? Has anyone had this happen to them? If it’s over by a few days, are they still going to make an effort to […]

Dear Bird Talk, I saw this on Facebook this a.m. Is it true? Don Peddle posted: Yesterday morning, I dropped off a buddy at the airport to fly to the states. When he got to Newark customs, they refused to let him into the states. The reason was that he had an impaired charge 32 […]
