@Nebulous Nomad assuming that you are US citizen/GreenCard holder AND that you do not live in the USA, there is no US requirement for health care coverage ( i.e. for ACA purposes ). Thus if you are covered by any local / international health insurance, the cost of that health insurance is deductible for itemized deductions ( medical). I do not know if this is what you are talking about. For the health questionnaire, in such cases , you say you were covered for the all 12 months.
