Tips for Moving to Another State with Medicare

Moving to Another State for Those Who Have Both Medicaid and Medicare

Many people have both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. While Medicare is a federal program, Medicaid is supported by both the state and federal governments. Therefore, Medicare benefits and eligibility may vary, depending on the state you are living. If you have both plans and plan to move to another state, make sure to inform the Medicaid office in the new and current state. After moving, you are no longer qualified to the Medicaid program in the old state. Therefore, it is important to understand the details of the Medicaid program in the new state. [9]
