Can a senior US citizen buy travel insurance while having Medicare?
Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
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!
