If you have ORIGINAL Medicare you can travel anywhere in the United States and its territories and get the health care you need from any doctor or hospital that is accepts Medicare. This includes all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.
ORIGINAL Medicare does not usually cover care outside of the country. An example of an exception to this would be if you are in the US and need EMERGENCY care and the closest hospital that can treat you is in Mexico or Canada.
NOTE: If the doctor has opted out of Medicare completly, you must pay the FULL cost for the services.
