Any on whose plan you choose it can cover you so that you are in a position to return to the US a and be taken care of.

Original Medicare with a Supplement provides up to $50,000 in lifetime reimbursements, covering up to 80% of your International medical costs. Note that your Medicare will work in the territories of the US. Such places as the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam. There are a few places between the USA Northern border and Alaska that would also have coverage under Medicare. Europe is not a covered location. I would recommend taking Travel Insurance.

No. Medicare doesn't cover outside the U.S. except for limited coverage near the U.S. border.

Generally speaking, Medicare coverage is only in the US. However, your Medicare supplement or Advantage plan will provide emergency medical coverage overseas if necessary.
