Does the High Option provide worldwide coverage when I travel abroad? 

Medicare generally doesn’t pay for hospital or medical services outside the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. 

However, the High Option covers you around the world. When you have services outside of the U.S., you’ll probably have to pay the bill at the time of service and submit the bill to APWU Health Plan for reimbursement.
