Calling Medicare from outside the US
Medicare generally does not pay for care outside the US, but enrollment, premiums and coverage questions do not stop when you travel or spend part of the year abroad. 1-800-MEDICARE is staffed around the clock except on some federal holidays, which makes it easy to reach from any time zone — as long as you can place the call, which from a foreign phone you often can’t.
