In my appt email confirmation it said: I will call you at the appointed time. RickS yes, I should have gone back to that site and call him but I did not think about it...anyhow, very unprofessional of him.

Reporting back here: no Jeff Goble - he did not "show up" (did not call) for our appointment today. The appt was scheduled for 3pm central time, he did not send an email to cancel (I checked the spam folder too). I waited with the phone by me until 3:45pm... Have a good evening everyone and happy holidays!

RickS I am very interested in what you find out. On my end I'll talk to Jeff Wednesday afternoon per the appt I made with him and will ask for proof that the medicare advantage works (e.g. bcbs or aetna brochures, anything he has that would prove it). But I don't have much faith that I will get anything out of him... that's why I think we need to dig more until we find some irrefutable evidence written somewhere...

Rick, that's exactly the video I watched when I wrote my first post - the lady in the panama relocation tours has exactly the same last name as the lady mariana lange who runs mexico relocation tours and also interviewed jeff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AULqQcDXSIA - the 2 ladies may be related and they interviewed same guy. In the mexico relocation guide video I linked they don't give any contact info on Jeff - you would have to buy their $495 relocation guide to get his contact. I used the panama contact info and made an appt with him for Wednesday... it is free - if anybody wants to make an appt. Exactly the 2 things you mention are the ones I am wondering about too...

Wow - how can this guy Jeff Goble then give such false info on youtube knowing he is watched by hundreds of people that need this info in order to make the important decision of relocating or not to MX for their retirement... it is beyond me how such crooks exist and are probably thriving... So then why buy part C if it has the 60days limit of being abroad - one could get the supplement or gap (whatever it is called) which already has the 60 days rule in it. He was also "selling" on youtube that some of those advantage plans (many or most of them) have unlimited coverage, not just 50K like the supplement/gap have... p.s. sorry, I don't get notifications from this thread and just saw this...

Hello. Any new insight into this? Both Mariana Lange from mexicorelocationguide.com and another lady Jackie Lange (strange - same last name as Mariana) from Panama relocation Tours (also similar business name) - had the Jeff Goble person on their youtube and he said the same things on both interviews. He said Medicare part c (Advantage) covers you for emergency/urgent care outside the US, but you have to pay first and get reimbursed months later. Has anybody tested this theory? I'm not yet on Medicare but went to several websites for Medicare Advantage plans, until I found one where I could put my zipcode and get an actual plan. I checked Humana plan, read the brochure, and nothing about travel outside US... I am not sure where to find this info in black and white. Which is why I am asking if in your larger group of expats is there anyone who has used Medicare Advantage and it worked? Can you share details/insights? Thank you!
