My husband and I are currently enrolled in Medicare with a Medicare supplement and Part D prescription coverage, and we will be moving to Italy, then returning to the United States in a few years. I understand that there is no coverage from Medicare for overseas expenses and that we should seek a medical plan in Italy if we have health issues while not in the United States.
