Get rid of the Advantage plans and get regular Medicare with a supplemental. DH has Medicare with a Blue Cross supplemental. It covers ALL medical bills and is good anywhere in the US

I think that is gonna be the best choice for us. Just don't know right now if we are actually gonna go back full-timing.

We are facing a situation where we have a Washington State base Medicare Advantage plan that requires us not to be out of the state for more than one half of the year. Now we are building a park model in Az and will want to spend more than allowed in AZ. So will be investigating other options.

Wish they would just give us a good option for a single plan that works the same anywhere we travel.

When the Medicare Advantage plans started, I think Blue Cross had such a plan. As the years passed, those plans disappeared as well as the number of companies offering plans period in our area.

That's something else we will have to research. Since we do not plan to keep a house, we will certainly need to look into a mail forwarding service. Lots of decisions to make.

That's for under 65 ACA ("Obamacare") health plans, not true for Medicare.

Lots of things to think about. We are not even sure what state our legal residence will be in. If we keep it where we live now, we have only three insurance companies to choose from, and none of them have nationwide coverage as of now.

We have a Regence Plan C PPO that has nationwide coverage. I have used it twice in states that are not my home base.
