J. Ross Quigley CEO Medipac International Inc. Insurance There is not much new to report on the insurance front. The sales this year were greater than any other in Medipac’s 39 years of underwriting travel medical insurance business. Part of that can be attributed to Medipac being the first, and still one of the few, companies which properly covers Covid and its many strains. The other driver is the powerful word of mouth recommendations from our many clients who have experienced our excellent and caring claims service. Thank you for your wonderful support during these trying times. Medipac still provides a 5% discount for those who have had a Covid vaccination, and continues to provide coverage even when there is a Covid travel advisory issued by the Canadian Government. It is interesting to note that the states in the U.S. which remained fairly lenient with their lockdowns and restrictions seem to have resulted in fewer Covid deaths and better medical outcomes. This has certainly been reflected in our claim statistics as well. We are already making plans for our Early Bird launch and I hope to have good news on the premium front. We still must navigate the last few weeks of the snowbird market, however, and we hope to find no “surprises.” It has been a wonderful year in snowbird country. Few restrictions, lots of sand and sun, and meeting old and new friends has been a blessing. Have a wonderful spring and summer and a safe trip home… if you are still lingering in the South. 12 | www.snowbirds.org
