Don't know the specifics of your situation, but I have been full-timing for almost 8 years and have health insurance through my employer based on SD as my domicile (where I don't live). I have never received any health care services while in SD and I have never been denied any healthcare services in any other state.
Not to get too personal, but I have two regular doctors, dentists and dermatologists - one of each located in FL and CA. I go to whichever is most convenient based on where I am in the country.

Also was surprised to learn that I can claim a large part of my medical travel expenses against my flexible spending account, so pre-tax dollars and lessening the impact a bit.
