Right, some plans pay for services worldwide, but Medicare does not and Advantage plans are not required to pay for services outside the US, but some do.

It looks like the 2019 UHC plan does pay worldwide emergency services with a $90 copay. But there doesn't seem to be anything in the 2019 plan about paying for worldwide hospital services.
