Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
No, Medicare generally does not cover healthcare outside the United States. The best thing to do is get strong travel medical insurance for seniors on Medicare. There are specialized plans for seniors currently on Medicare so it can blend seamlessly into the healthcare coverage you are used to. So when you’re traveling, you continue to get strong coverage even while you’re outside of Medicare’s coverage.
