Cuban authorities require visitors to Cuba to carry medical insurance and all visitors to Cuba may be required to provide proof of valid medical coverage upon their international arrival to Cuba. It is each traveler’s responsibility to ensure valid medical coverage for the duration of their stay and the scope of their activities in Cuban territory. MacQueen’s Island Tours (WowCuba) is not responsible for advancing funds to clients for any medical expenses or expenses related to an illness or accident while traveling which may/may not be covered locally or post-travel by a client’s insurance provider.
If a traveler is presently covered by a Canadian provincial insurance plan and wishes to purchase additional medical coverage for Cuba travel, it is suggested that the traveler contact travel medical insurance providers in their country of residence in advance of travel.
MacQueen’s Island Tours (WowCuba) suggests acquiring medical insurance from an approved agency in the traveler’s country of residence prior to arrival in Cuba. Travelers should check with their insurance company to ensure their policy is valid in Cuba or visit to the Asistur webpage for a list of approved agencies. Solways is an option for online purchase of a medical insurance policy for Cuba. Some US airlines include a basic medical insurance policy with flights, and travelers should carefully review how to use that policy locally, and be aware if it is activated in Cuban medical facilities with boarding pass presentation, or if they must collect receipts and submit post-travel for compensation consideration.
Medical coverage may also be purchased on arrival from the Cuban insurance company ESEN or Asistur for approximately $3/day. For anyone over 70 or anyone participating in high-risk activities, a supplement of approximately $2/day will apply. Asistur has desks at all international airports (prior to proceeding through the Cuban Immigration counters) as well as various provincial offices.
