I'd be curious to know which carriers -- if there are any -- really would try to deny coverage for health care administered in the USA for an illness or injury that occurred in Cuba. It would be pretty hard for the carrier even to learn where illness/injury occurred, unless the patient starts blabbing about it.
Often1, can you name any health insurance carrier that won't cover treatment for a condition arising in Cuba unless you were traveling there lawfully, and with a policy in place down there? I've shown you my Blue Shield policy, which makes no mention of anything like this.
