New home. New neighborhood. New grocery store. Maybe even a new doctor.
When you move, there are plenty of things to update—and your Medicare coverage deserves some attention, too.
This can be particularly important if you have a Medicare Advantage plan because these plans can have provider networks and defined service areas.
Before or after a move, it’s worth asking a few basic questions. Will you continue seeing the same doctors? Are you moving far enough away that you’ll need new healthcare providers? Will you use a different hospital or pharmacy? Does your current coverage work the way you expect in your new community?
Even a relatively short move can change which healthcare providers are most convenient for you.
If you’re moving to or within Oregon or Southwest Washington, talking with someone who understands the local Medicare market can be particularly useful. Medicare plan availability can vary by location, which is one reason Understanding My Medicare emphasizes local guidance.
We can sit down with you, learn what’s important to you, and help you understand the Medicare options available for your individual situation.
So when you’re making that moving checklist, put “Review Medicare” somewhere between changing your address and unpacking the boxes.
