Orange, CA 4/19/2012 – Most people assume that they will need Medicare benefits at retirement, and do not consider the possibility that they may require it earlier due to disability. If you are in the position of having to consider disability benefits, you may have many concerns regarding your health care coverage.

Packing Boxes and Preparing for a Move – Your Medicare Coverage Might Relocate Too

jsant — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:01:47 +0000

Orange, CA 2/29/2012 – Anyone who has moved understands that the process can be overwhelming and things get lost in the shuffle under boxes and packing tape. It is crucial that one thing stays on the top of your moving checklist – planning for your Medicare Advantage relocation.

If your new home is not in your current Medicare Advantage Plan’s service area, you will be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to choose a new plan. If you have new Medicare health or Part D plans available to you as a result of the move, but continue to reside in the current plan service area, you may use this SEP to enroll in any MA or Part D plan in your new place of residence, but where do you start? Joppel.com has released a moving checklist to help eliminate the stress of narrowing down your Medicare options.

Joppel.com provides the resources you need to easily narrow your choices and find the plan that will be right for you. It is important to research your options before making your move, giving yourself plenty of time to find the plan that will best fit your needs. Once you find your new Medicare Advantage “home,” you can go back to those boxes!
