What has been your experience using Medicare gap or Medicare advantage to cover emergency medical expenses when traveling outside the USA? Please no rude comments.
Answer summary
Medicare primarily offers coverage within the USA, and according to user comments, it does not provide coverage for emergency medical expenses incurred while traveling outside the country. Individuals considering travel need to be aware that Medicare may not be applicable for healthcare services abroad.
