Is Jessica's appendicitis treatment in Mexico covered by Medicare Part B?

Medicare Part B generally does not cover medical services received outside the United States, unless specific conditions are met. While there are exceptions for certain emergency situations where medical care is needed while traveling outside the country, routine treatments like Jessica's appendicitis would typically not be considered urgent care. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Medicare Part B would not provide coverage for services received in Mexico or any foreign country. This understanding of the limitations placed by Medicare on overseas care helps clarify why this choice appropriately reflects the coverage rules for beneficiaries.
