Medicare and traveling south
So, we'll be gone in November, like usual, but my husband turns 65 in December. Can we NOT be home? Do we have to stay home to get this all set up? :( I guess Part A is automatic when you turn 65?

Many of us began fulltime RV travels long before age 65 and were on the road when signing up for Medicare and SS. No problem since its all done online these days. You just need to have internet access and mail forwarding. When you select a Medicare Supplement Plan (also easy to do online), get a PPO type with a nationwide network. Although a few docs may not accept new Medicare patients, there are more than enough who do. I use different docs all over the country when traveling and never have an issue getting routine medical services wherever needed. I find Medicare easier to use than my previous private plan with BCBS.
