QUESTION:   WILL MEDICARE PAY FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES OR SUPPLIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES?

Answer:  If you’re planning a vacation this summer outside of the United States, it’s important to know that your Medicare coverage will be different.  In most cases, Medicare won’t pay for health care services or supplies you get outside the U.S.   Because Medicare coverage outside the U.S. is limited, you may want to buy a travel insurance policy.  To find out more about these policies, call Kyle Zajdel at 765-935-5655.
