Medicare part A and travel insurance

Hello,
My wife and I moved to UK 12 years ago and signed up for Medicare part A (hospital) when the time came. We did not sign up for Medicare part B (doctors) as the sum of the monthly premium would exceed the cost of travel insurance covering the infrequent individual trips.

We have now reached the age and condition where the cost quoted by the UK travel insurance companies is a major consideration on any trips to the US.

Does anyone know if any UK travel insurance companies acknowledge that Medicare part A relieves them of possible substantial coverage costs when quoting charges to cover a trip to the US?
Or maybe a US-based one willing to cover a UK resident?

Many thanks to the members of the Forum who have contributed their knowledge and experience over the years.

I know exactly what you mean, we signed up for Part A as well but there is no recognition from UK travel insurance companies that if you have to go to a hospital while on a trip that Medicare will pay 80% of the cost.

Have you tried World Nomads?

We don’t travel to the US any more now that we are in our 70s, and we have no family left in the USA.
