Alicomp Posted February 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2014 We will be taking our first international cruise while on Medicare. I know we need additional health insurance, as our medicare supplement will only cover emergency care outside the US. Can anyone recommend a company for this type of health insurance. I'm not referring to evacuation insurance (although we need that also). I'm referring to health insurance. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covers per existing conditions. Also covers trip cancellation, delays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirwired Posted February 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Are you looking for a one-time or an annual policy? Most (all?) one-time trip-insurance policies do not require you to have any other international coverage. Some of them require you to file with your primary coverage, but I don't personally know of any that require your primary coverage (Medicare in this case) to actually pay anything.

Alicomp Posted February 17, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 17, 2014 OP here. Thanks for your replies. I just found a post I started last year that had lots of good information on the same topic. (Originally had trouble finding the original post due to lack of search function ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasaM Posted February 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2014 We are going to purchase our international travel insurance (a yearly plan) thru Geo Blue. https://geobluetravelinsurance.com/ This only covers medical insurance, and evacuation. It doesn't cover anything relating to travel, such as luggage delay, or you cancelling your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
