Probably not.  In general, your Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage (like Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B coverage) is only available within the United States or U.S. territories - except in very limited circumstances.

Important: When traveling outside the U.S. with medications, keep them in their original, labeled, containers.

(3)  Purchase additional international travel insurance that covers prescriptions.

Consider obtaining an international travel insurance policy as an alternative to your Medicare Part D coverage.  International travel insurance may be offered by AAA, AARP, or specialty insurance companies such as International Medical Group (IMG).  As with any insurance policy, before enrolling, please read the international travel insurance policy's coverage details closely to understand what healthcare is covered - and what is coverage is excluded (such as pre-existing healthcare conditions).

(4)  Purchase your prescriptions as you travel abroad.

Related Question:  Even if I cannot use my Medicare Part D plan as I am traveling abroad, will my Medicare Part D plan at least reimburse me if I purchase a formulary medication outside the US?

Probably not.  You can read more about purchasing formulary drugs outside of the United States in our Frequently Asked Question: "If I purchase prescription drugs while outside of the country, will my Medicare Part D plan reimburse me for the medications if they are on my plan's formulary?"


Final Note: Medicare Supplements and international Medicare Part A and Part B coverage

Some Medicare Supplements (or MediGap policies) may provide healthcare coverage outside the United States. You will need to check with a local insurance agent or the Medicare Supplement plan provider to learn more about the Medicare Supplements available in your state - and what international coverage is provided.
