FAQ
Frequently asked Medicare questions
Browse all Medicare FAQsDoes moving create a Medicare Special Enrollment Period?
A permanent move can create a Special Enrollment Period for Medicare Advantage or Part D when you leave a plan service area or gain new plan choices. The timing and options depend on when you notify the plan.
Can I keep my Medigap policy when I move?
You can generally keep a standardized Medigap policy when moving within the United States, but the premium may change. Moving does not automatically create a broad right to switch to any Medigap policy without underwriting.
What information should I gather before moving?
Have your new address and move date, current plan information, doctors, prescriptions, preferred pharmacies, and expected care needs ready so you can check service areas, networks, formularies, and enrollment deadlines.
