United States Medicare beneficiaries do not lose their core Medicare eligibility or benefits simply by traveling or living abroad for extended periods, because Medicare is tied to your lifetime tax contributions and U.S. citizenship. However, the critical limitation is that Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not provide coverage for medical care received outside the U.S., meaning beneficiaries must rely on private travel insurance or out-of-pocket funds when sick overseas.
