Medicare Stops at the Border

You worked hard for this trip. Don't let a coverage gap ruin it.

Most travelers on Medicare don't find out the truth until they're sitting in a foreign hospital. By then, it's too late.

Medicare does not cover you internationally. And even if you have a supplement plan, the limits, conditions, and fine print can leave you exposed to tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs.

Medicare Stops at the Border™ is a plain-language guide written by Kim Kirkley, JD, MSW — travel rights strategist and founder of Senior Savvy Travel — to give travelers 60 and over the truth they deserve before they board that plane.

Inside this guide you will learn:

What Medicare actually covers internationally — and what it does not, no matter what anyone told you. What supplement plans include, their lifetime caps, and why $50,000 may not be enough. The 10 to 14 day rule that most travelers miss — and how missing it leaves your pre-existing conditions completely unprotected. The questions to ask your insurance provider before you book. What medical evacuation really costs and why it matters more than you think. A simple action checklist so you leave home fully informed and protected.

$9. Instant download. Plain language. No legal jargon.

WHAT YOU STAND TO LOSE (without this guide)

Here is what happens when travelers 60 and over board an international flight without reading this guide:

They assume Medicare covers them. It doesn't.

They assume their supplement plan is enough. For most, it isn't.

They buy travel insurance weeks after their first deposit — and find out too late that their pre-existing conditions are excluded.

They land in a foreign hospital and face a bill between $30,000 and $200,000 with no coverage and no plan.

They come home financially devastated from the trip they saved years to take.

For $9 — less than a airport sandwich — you will know exactly where you stand before you leave home. You will know what to ask. You will know what to buy. And you will know how to protect the trip you have earned.
