Traveling with Medicare - Medicare Supplement Plan G Foreign Travel Benefit - Plan G Coverage outside US

Medicare will not cover you if you leave the country however, the Medicare Supplement Plan G will cover you if you leave the country. The Medicare Supplement Plan G comes with what is called a foreign travel benefit. It will cover foreign travel emergency care if it begins during the first 60 days of your trip, and if Medicare doesn't otherwise cover the care. They pay 80% of the billed charges for certain medically necessary emergency care outside the U.S. after you meet a $250 deductible for the year and has a lifetime limit of $50,000.

Medigap Plan G covers you when you are traveling. You will have the same coverage within the United States as you do where you live. The Medicare Supplement Plan G will even cover you when you are traveling outside of the US.

If you have a F, G or N supplement and you take 2 or more 60 day foreign trips per year, are you covered for each trip or only 60 days/year?. Specifically, can I take my boat to the Caribbean or Bahamas, stay for 60 days, return to the US briefly and touch American soil, then fly back to the foreign countries and restart another 60 day trip and be covered again for the next 60 days? Thanks, much.
