Medicare and Travel

Prepare for Travel with Kent A. Bennett & Associates

Planning a vacation or visiting family? At Kent A. Bennett & Associates in Montoursville, PA, we help you understand how Medicare works when you travel—so you can pack peace of mind.

Original Medicare Offers Coverage Across the U.S., But Not Abroad

Medicare and travel can get complicated, especially when you’re crossing borders. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) covers care anywhere in the U.S. and its territories. That includes hospitals, doctors, and emergency services nationwide. However, it typically does not cover care if you travel internationally.

Medicare Advantage Plans May Include Emergency Travel Coverage

Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans offer limited coverage outside the U.S., especially for emergencies. If you travel frequently, we’ll help you review plans that extend protection when you’re away from home.

Medigap Plans Can Help with Foreign Emergency Care

Certain Medigap (Medicare Supplement) plans include emergency coverage for international travel. These plans can pay 80% of costs for medical emergencies abroad, up to plan limits. We help you compare options to find the best fit for your travel goals.

Travel Insurance Can Fill the Gaps in Your Medicare Coverage

For longer or overseas trips, a separate travel insurance policy may be the smartest move. We’ll walk you through supplemental coverage that works alongside your Medicare plan.

 

Before you take off, make sure your health coverage travels with you. At Kent A. Bennett & Associates in Montoursville, PA, we help you understand your Medicare options, identify coverage gaps, and choose plans that support your lifestyle—whether you’re staying local or seeing the world.
