My experience with out of country healthcare has been you pay out of pocket for services and then claim once you return. I ALWAYS buy travel insurance.

The University of Florida Gainesville has the premier teaching hospital in Central FL, Shands. It is an hour from here north on I-75. UF Health has a department of physician specialists for about every medical specialty which exists. If you want to use it for primary care and do not mind the drive that option is available as well. Through a network of affiliations they can also access other teaching institutions which might have more knowledge about an unusual medical condition. Recently, they referred a problem of mine to the Cleveland Clinic for a consultation. My decision was to buy Supplemental Medicare coverage to maintain my ability to access UF Health for good reason as it turned out. When it comes to your health, you are quite literally " betting the Bank ". Investigate any Advantage Plan and its network of approved providers carefully.

Be careful if you sign up an Advantage plan, then decide you would like to go back to Original Medicare. you may find that you are UNable to get a supplemental plan, in attempting to go back to Medicare . Or if you can, you may find the premiums for the Medigap / supplemental will be extremely high .
