＞ accident and illness comes with ＄ 50,000

that's a lot of money. I heard good things. Next time I go to Japan, I will check the accident and illness coverage before I buy it.

Also, I read again the email I received from medicare.gov yesterday, and it said that there is coverage for overseas travel, and if you have Medicare before June 1, 2010, you also have Medigap coverage, which works even outside the country. This is reliable information since I have been covered since before 06/01/2010. In reality, Medicine is covered under Plans C and D, so I'm going to go back and learn more about what Medigap is and how much Accident&Illness is covered overseas.

Medicare supplement, gap, and advantage coverages are available from all insurance companies that cover treatment abroad. I know three people who went to an emergency room in Japan and were admitted to the hospital for surgery and hospitalization, but it is impossible to choose a medical facility with a contract in case of emergency.　They all received full reimbursement from the insurance company.　I imagine that if the facility has a contract with the insurance company, the insurance company will pay directly, and if not, you will have to pay for it yourself.

tok84,

I am asking the same thing.

I have heard the same thing, that the expensive medical expenses in Japan are to be paid by the individual, and then the hospital will prepare a medical bill in English, and submit it to the insurance company here for review before payment. In my case, I am receiving Medicare assistance from Kaiser, so I will consult with Kaiser directly about Medigap.

Well, I don't want to have a serious illness in Japan, even if I can't escape from an unexpected accident in Japan. That said, I am traveling to Japan because I am looking forward to walking on my own feet all day long for weeks in Shikoku, so I am working hard to keep myself healthy on a regular basis for 365 days a year.

This is not directly related to Japan Travel, but I mentioned on this topic before that ANA grounded all of its B787s in July of this year, but I found a YouTube video titled "Legend of ANA's Poor Aircraft Selection" in which ANA had a string of bad luck in aircraft selection. For more details, please see the following.

JAL's serious troubles in the past have turned the Japanese flagship ・ ANA （ All Nippon Airways Co ） which has become an airline, but it seems that they are not making it easy for them in terms of equipment.

I wrote "flagship ・ airlines", but I was told that the correct term is "flag ・ carriers".

Also, it is not certain whether JAL or ANA is the "flag ・ carrier". Neither company has the Japanese flag （ or the flag ） on its aircraft, and neither is designated as a "flag ・ carrier" by the government. Practically speaking, though, ANA reigns supreme, both in terms of the number of domestic and international routes and in terms of the company's assets.

There is also coverage on YouTube's English channel regarding JAL's decline.
