Its Summertime! Will my Medicare plan cover out-of-state care?           

It you are thinking of traveling outside the area this summer, here are couple things to keep in mind:

• With Medicare Advantage plans, you’ll have emergency and urgent care coverage when traveling outside of your network, within the United States. That means you don’t have to worry about coverage if you get a sudden illness or break a bone while traveling.
• If you need non-emergency or non-urgent care while traveling, it may not be covered or you may have to pay more out of pocket. So, plan accordingly, if you know you’ll be out of the area, you may want to schedule any non-urgent health care prior to traveling.
• If you have Original Medicare with or without a Supplement Plan you have coverage anywhere in the US and its territories from doctors and hospitals that take Original Medicare
