Medicare does not pay for medical care outside the country. Whether your supplements do, you have to call your agent. We have Tricare for Life, which pays at its normal 80% rate.
The simplest answer is to buy the trip insurance. Read the fine print. You want it to pay for medical care and air ambulance and reimburse your fare if you are unable to go on the trip for various reasons. You can buy from your travel agent. Or better, search on the internet and get a better price.
