Moving
What to do with your plan when you move.
Moving can trigger a Special Enrollment Period to change your Medicare Advantage or Part D plan — because networks and available plans are regional.
Key points
- Original Medicare works anywhere in the U.S. — no change needed for a move.
- Advantage and Part D plans are county-based; moving usually means switching plans.
- Tell your plan and Social Security about the move to keep records accurate.
