Social Security Medicare and Medicaid do not provide any coverage for hospital or medical costs to seniors while traveling outside the United States. PHA U. S. since it’s inception has recognized an increased need not only for travel accident medical coverage, but political evacuation, kidnap, ransom and detention protection as well.
