To be sure, you need to read your policy, specifically the exclusions, to see if care outside the U.S. is excluded. If you have coverage outside the U.S., check to see what type of care is covered. Often, it's only emergencies.
Medicaid does not cover you outside the U.S. and most Medicare plans also do not cover you outside the U.S., although some provide emergency care in Canada and Mexico. To learn more, visit Medicare.gov or check with your Medicare supplement provider.
These countries provide care for their citizens and residents, and the coverage is not intended for tourists who are visiting for a brief period of time.
