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.
