Is it a Medicare supplemental plan? Unless private insurance, I would consider a medical supplement with GeoBlue with annual policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It coveres medical expenses abroad. If it is the typical Medicare supplement policy with a $50k lifetime limit, many people would suggest you look for additional coverage. The $50k can be exhausted in a heartbeat and it can be difficult to obtain payment. I would suggest that you consider something like GeoBlue. If you travel a lot, the yearly plans are very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebtrip Posted February 21, 2019 #28 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I am on Medicare and have a PPO supplement and always buy insurance.. had to cancel:our cruise 7 days prior to departure this January because of an injury in November..thought I might be able to go..check for full cruise was just received. We NEVER go without coverage it’s just part of the cost of cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point we checked out GeoBlue (mainly for evacuation), but discovered we had no need and MedJet had better language for evacuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
