Medicare Advantage's Traveler Problem Leaves Snowbirds Stranded
Original: She Left Minnesota for Arizona on November 1. Without a Traveler Benefit, Her Medicare Advantage Plan Will Drop Her June 1
A woman who moved from Minnesota to Arizona on November 1 is facing the loss of her Medicare Advantage coverage, because her plan lacks a traveler benefit and will drop her on June 1. Her situation highlights a wider catch for retirees who split their year between states: many Medicare Advantage plans only cover networks in their home region, forcing seasonal movers to switch plans or return to original Medicare.
Why now: Medicare Advantage network restrictions affecting seasonal movers are a timely concern during open enrollment and retirement-planning discussions.
