So, you are planning a two-month European adventure...
(or any other major International trip)
What do you do about Medical Insurance while you are away?
What do you do about Medical Insurance while you are away?
Original Medicare & International Travel
Unfortunately, Original Medicare does not provide any coverage while you are traveling Internationally.
But, what if I have a Medicare Supplement?
There are certain Medicare Supplements (e.g. Plan C, F, G, N) that provide a minimal level of Medical Coverage for Foreign Travel Emergencies.
These plans provide a lifetime maximum benefit of $50,000. There is a $250 deductible, and then 80/20 coverage after the deductible.
This coverage CANNOT be used for Medical Evacuation, which could cost $30,000-$100,000+ to be transported back to the United States for care.
