Bishop and his wife, Alina, have group travel insurance and checked to make sure they had coverage before they left Canada. When Richard was hospitalized, he needed a defibrillator.
As far as they were concerned, all their bills were covered.
“I provided them with all the phone numbers to his cardiologist, the doctors and physicians,” Alina said.
The total hospital bill came to $620,011 and that’s when the Bishops found out they were not covered, due to Bishop having pre-existing conditions related to his heart.
“They told me they are not going to pay for the hospitalization because the cardiologist said my husband wasn’t stable to travel,” said Alina.
The family said if they would have known sooner that the hospital bill wouldn’t have been paid, they would’ve taken an emergency flight home to have Richard’s health addressed in Canada.
