Hi! I see it's been a while, but I hope my comment is helpful here. It's great that you have Medicare and Medicare Advantage for coverage in the US, but it's essential to have additional coverage abroad.
Some travel insurance providers offer medical coverage and evacuation services for cruise travel. I suggest drawing your attention to ibgportland healthcare insurance company for a good plan. I used this option last summer when I went on a cruise. Good luck!
Thank you for the last couple of replies. This however is a really old thread, it will be three years old in a few days. We have gone and come back with only one minor health incident while still in the US.
Our health plan treats foreign medical expenses as "out of network" providers. They will reimburse us for the expenses if we document them but not the provider. We did purchase the basic DAN Boater coverage to take care of medical transportation and repatriation if so needed. Buying through BoatUS gave us a decent discount.
We did postpone our trip until 2021 because of Covid, who knew back in March 2020 how nuts the world would get. We finally made it to the Bahamas in the Spring 2022. As part of the entrance policy we had to buy Bahamian Covid Coverage. It was inexpensive and required. Not sure what the current requirements are.
Given the age of this thread, I'm going to close the thread. It will remain open for review however, posting will be terminated.
Cheers.
