Emergency Care While Traveling: Does Medicare Follow You?

You finally book that long-awaited trip.

Then a medical emergency happens — far from home.

Original Medicare generally does not cover care outside the U.S. There are a few rare exceptions, but most international emergencies are out-of-pocket.

Some Medicare Advantage plans offer emergency travel coverage, and Medigap plans may help as well.

Before you pack your bags, Barakat Insurance makes sure your coverage travels with you — not just your suitcase.
