Florida Medicare Recipients Please Note:
Medicare coverage is not in force outside of the USA! Medicare is not in force when you are on vacation even for a brief visit.
A Medicare recipient must return to the USA to be eligible for benefits. Travel insurance is what you need to be covered for medical expenses outside the USA. Many people from Florida travel outside of their home country, beyond the reach of their health insurance. Most health plans in Florida provide no benefits outside the USA or very limited benefits when visiting a foreign country.
Florida residents should never go without health insurance. The fact is that when a person is traveling to another country they are uninsured for an emergency medical situation. Vacations are beautiful. Eat, drink, do all kinds of stuff that you would not be doing during your usual routine. Of course an accident or emergency medical occurrence is more likely to happen on vacation.
So consider spending a relatively small amount of money on an Florida travel health insurance plan and make sure you are covered for emergency medical evacuation, medical emergencies, trip cancellation, as well as all the additional minor stuff.
