Many of our members love to travel and will choose one of the EHC plans that includes Emergency Travel coverage . ARTA ’ s travel insurance plan is amongst the best retiree travel plans in Canada , if not the best . Members with travel coverage can travel outside of their province of residence worry-free , knowing they are not subject to a stability clause for preexisting conditions ( which is included in virtually every other emergency travel insurance plan in Canada ). The majority ( 85 %) of ARTA ’ s members enjoy their travel with Emergency Travel coverage .

Of members with EHC coverage , 82 % are also covered for dental care benefits . Depending on the level of dental care coverage you have , eligible services range from exams and diagnostic services up to implants and crowns . Dental care claims accounted for almost $ 23 million in 2022 .

We encourage you to review the benefits provided by ARTA ’ s benefit plans to make sure you are getting the biggest bang for your buck and to consider using some of the other benefits you may not have realized are provided through ARTA ’ s harmonized plans .
