If you’re a Medicare beneficiary planning an international trip, you might assume your healthcare coverage travels with you—but that’s not always the case. Original Medicare typically does not cover medical expenses outside the U.S., leaving travelers vulnerable to high healthcare costs in foreign countries. That’s where Travel Medicare Coverage comes in.

• Does Medicare cover international travel? In most cases, Medicare does not provide coverage beyond U.S. borders, except for a few specific emergency situations.
• Why do you need additional travel insurance? Without proper coverage, a medical emergency abroad could lead to thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses. Travel medical insurance can help cover doctor visits, hospital stays, and emergency evacuations.
• What are your options? Travelers can consider Medicare Advantage Plans, Medigap (Supplemental Plans), or Standalone Travel Medical Insurance to ensure they’re protected.
