crmoores--I understood you to be talking about standard Medicare without anything else, which is why I questioned it. Many people have JUST Medicare and nothing else. There is a huge difference between Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare supplement plans. However, the difference is not clear enough to me for me to explain it to someone else! Speaking JUST to the question of coverage outside the US and NOT Covid in particular, the supplement I am going to get, it states in WRITING that I am covered outside the US. I am curious as to why you cannot get that coverage confirmed in WRITING to you in your circumstance, but I assume you are fine. My agent told me ORALLY that my Medicare Supplement plan would cover Covid evacuation. I have not signed the paperwork yet, and I have not had that confirmed in writing yet.
