You Check In!
Travel is one of life’s many great pleasures — one that we hope you’re able
to enjoy a lot more now that you’re retired. To help your trip go as smoothly
as possible, the Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (ASEBP) has put
together a quick checklist to ensure that you have everything you need
before you head out on your next adventure.
Review Your Coverage
You’ll want to ensure that you’re
covered for medical emergencies
in case something other than the
travel bug decides to head your
way. Which ARTA benefi t plan
are you currently enrolled in?
• Total Health
• Ultimate Health
If you aren’t enrolled in either
of these plans, you don’t have
emergency travel benefi ts
as part of your ARTA retiree
benefi ts. You can give us a call to
upgrade to a travel plan today at
1-855-444-ARTA (2782).
Extend Your Coverage
If you’ll be living like a local
for more than ninety-two
days, you can extend the travel
coverage included in the Total
and Ultimate Health plans
with our Supplementary Travel
Insurance. Coverage can be
extended in blocks of fi fteen
days and is automatically
renewed every year. Be sure to
purchase this coverage before
your trip begins by calling us at
1-855-444-ARTA (2782).
Check Your Prescriptions
Make sure you have enough
medication on hand to get you
through your trip. If you need
to request an early refi ll before
you leave, please contact us at
1-855-444-ARTA (2782).
Update Your Contact
Information
If you’ll be away from home for
an extended period, make sure
we have a way to get in contact
with you. You can update your
email, phone numbers, and
mailing address easily on the
ARTA Members Health Care
Account web page. Simply visit
the Edit User Profi le page found
under the Profi le tab once
you’ve logged in.
Know Whom to Call
Your emergency travel benefi ts
are provided by Allianz Global
Assistance. You should contact
Allianz — not us — in the event
of a medical emergency outside
your home province.
Canada/U.S. (toll-free):
1-844-996-9003
Any other country (collect):
1-519-342-0142
Allianz’s contact information
is also provided on the back of
your ARTA Benefi ts ID card —
so be sure to take the card with
you on your trip.
With these items taken care
of, all that’s left to do is to enjoy
your trip! And remember, no
matter where life’s travels take
you, your ARTA retiree benefi ts
are with you every step of the
way. Bon voyage! ●
