So if I use a secondary like GeoBlue or what recommended ideas you all have.

When we went to Shetland in '04, one of our party had a minor cardiac episode and went to a local hospital to get checked out. It turned out he was fine and it didn't cost him anything. Needless to say, we were shocked. AFAIK, the UK healthcare system hasn't changed, but you should certainly look into options. We've gotten travel insurance when traveling overseas, and that provides coverage for a wide range of related areas, including health issues. It's pretty inexpensive.

NHS states on their website that you'll need to buy insurance or, if you use any services, you'll be charged 150% the normal rate.

International travel Medical Insurance

I’ve used a division of United HealthCare that sells Travel Health coverage.
For the cost of any insurance plan I never travel without taking out coverage for my wife & I.

My Part G is UHC, and I was not impressed with additional travel choices and costs.


We went with GeoBlue, 2 weeks worth.
