InsureMyTrip Launches Medicare Awareness Initiative For Senior Travelers
Summary:
- Poll reveals that most Americans are unclear whether domestic health insurance covers any doctor or hospital visits abroad
- Generally, Original Medicare does not cover medical costs outside of the US
The US State Department encourages travelers to purchase travel insurance with emergency medical and emergency medical evacuation coverage
"Our latest poll indicates that more education is needed on this important topic. Our goal is to inform travelers, in particular, older Americans, on travel insurance options that include emergency medical and emergency medical evacuation coverage," says InsureMyTrip Travel Insurance Product Expert

Original Medicare does not cover emergency medical care for travelers outside the US. There are supplemental plans such as Medicare Advantage and Medigap that can provide limited additional coverage, for more details visit Medicare.gov.
