Best Answer

Under normal circumstances the only thing a medical health insurance plan will cover outside the U.S is emergencies only. Routine care or doctor visits will not be covered unless it is considered medically necessary. If you plan on leaving for an extended time I would consider getting travelers insurance which is different than ordinary health insurance.
