Medicare Advantage 

Medicare Advantage will help you with health insurance when you are traveling in the United States. This will cover your medical emergencies, but other kinds of medical care may not be covered. You will also need to use doctors with the Medicare Advantage Plan.

Because these benefits can be specific by the state, you will have some out-of-pocket expenses. If you have health care needs that you will need maintained outside your state when you travel, tend to them before you travel. Then your only health insurance worries will be covered by Medicare Advantage if you have a medical emergency.

Medicare Overseas

Medicare will also cover you when you are traveling overseas for medical emergencies. The services that will be covered will depend on what Medicare plan you have. Medicare Part A will cover for any services after you are admitted into a hospital.

Medicare Part B would cover that, plus any treatments prior to any admission. If you do not require hospitalization, you may be held responsible for those costs.
