Use online services for medical underwriting
You can now use the member site to submit medical evidence requests, review medical underwriting decisions and view details from past underwriting cases. You’ll receive email notifications and reminders to register and complete your underwriting requirements through the member site. This transition will reduce turnaround times, improve our environmental impact and provide more secure ways to disclose personal information. You may defer back to the paper process by submitting a written request to MUW_inquiries@ab.bluecross.ca.

Designed for rapidly changing travel conditions, these features are an addition to our travel insurance options for emergency medical coverage, trip cancellation and interruption and baggage coverage. Even better—group members receive a 10 per cent discount if they call in.
