Absolutely! Purchasing travel insurance is not just a good idea—it's a smart, proactive step for Medicare beneficiaries venturing beyond U.S. borders. Here's why: Medicare's Limited International Coverage:

  • Original Medicare provides minimal coverage outside the United States
  • Most medical emergencies abroad won't be covered by your standard Medicare plan
  • Potential out-of-pocket costs can be substantial without additional protection
  • How travel insurance can help:
  • Comprehensive medical coverage in foreign countries
  • Emergency medical evacuation services
  • Protection against unexpected healthcare expenses
  • Peace of mind during international travel
  • Consider travel insurance as an investment in your health and financial security when exploring the world. It's a small price to pay for comprehensive protection and worry-free travel. Your health and safety are priceless, especially when traveling abroad!

    Please consult your specific policy documents for precise coverage limits, benefits and exclusions.
