Travel Ins and Med Supp

[somarco]

I sold the supplement only advised her to get a travel policy

Then bow out gracefully . . . it is not your fault she bought from that carrier

Would the Medicare double payer rule come into play in an instance like this?
You may be able to tell from this question I am not a Medicare agent.

Not on this one.

Because Medicare doesn't cover foreign travel except for a few exceptions.
So Medicare is not a player in this scenario. It's between Arch and UHC.

Is that unique to UHC? International travel medical is normally primary, Medigap is secondary.

I just know what Blue told me with regards to Plan G vs GeoBlue. Med Supp pays first.

She doesn't have to have a travel plan . . . but it is better than relying on a Medigap out of country benefit that may never pay a dime.

Personally, I would never rely on the Medigap plan for foreign travel coverage.

I've seen it work. I recommend getting MedJet assist on top of it.

She is going to call UHC Direct, I told her this is unusual and I would suggest she talk with UHC

I am out of it now
