And one of the questions I am often asked is, does Medicare cover me when I\u2019m out of the country?\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nIf you only have original Medicare, which is Part A and Part B as shown on your Medicare card, the answer is no. However, most people also have a supplement and drug plan or a Medicare Advantage plan.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nLet\u2019s break down how each of these address travel. If you have a supplement plan, most have a foreign travel benefit built right in. You can find this information in the benefits package that your agent provided you when you enrolled. There is a $240 annual calendar year deductible. Then you pay 20% of the cost and with a lifetime maximum benefit of $50,000.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nIf you have a Medicare Advantage plan, there usually is a definitive dollar amount for the deductible. Some plans have a cap of $250,000 for out-of-the-country emergency medical expenses. Medicare Advantage plans are for emergency care only. I want to make that clear. Please understand you cannot call a doctor, make an appointment, or schedule a medical procedure with Medicare Advantage plans outside your service area. It is for emergency treatment only. Please check your plan before leaving the country because not all Medicare Advantage plans cover those medical expenses.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\nOnce you determine if coverage is offered by your plan, you may decide you need travel health coverage.\r\nWe can help you obtain additional travel health coverage. Contact us at 770-373-7541 for more information.\r\n<h4><\/h4>\r\n<em>Bonnie Dobbs is a highly sought-after author, panelist, and speaker on Medicare, teaching thousands online, in print, and in person!
