Will Medicare Cover You Overseas? 
Original Medicare has some coverage outside the United States , but is limited to the US Virgin Islands , American Samoa , Guam and Puerto Rico . In some situations Medicare will pay a portion of your hospital and outpatient medical bills if you have a true medical emergency . You should consider two things when traveling outside of the country . One is a Medigap policy that includes foreign medical coverage and two , an international travel medical plan .
