With summer travel picking up, our team wanted to share a few helpful reminders about how Medicare works when you’re away from home.

Many people assume their coverage will follow them no matter where they go, but that’s not always the case. Depending on your plan, factors such as provider access, network rules, and even geography can affect what’s covered and how much you may pay out of pocket if you need care while you’re away from home.

The good news is that a little planning ahead of your trip can help you avoid surprises and feel more confident if something unexpected comes up while you’re traveling. Swipe for a few things to keep in mind as you prepare for any summer travel.

If you’d like help reviewing your plan to fully understand your policy ahead of any summer travel, we’re always happy to lend a hand. Just give us a call, and we can get started.

Medicare coverage while traveling depends on where you go and the type of plan you have. When traveling outside the U.S., Original Medicare generally doesn't provide coverage except in limited situations, and the same basic rules apply to Medicare Advantage plans; some may include additional emergency benefits abroad. If you plan to travel internationally, certain Medigap policies can help cover medical costs abroad. We can help you figure this out before you decide which plan to choose.
