    It depends on your plan.  Most plans provide coverage beyond your home state.  However, most Medicaid plans will only pay in the state they are from (or occasionally in the immediate area in surrounding states) except in emergency situations.  It is always best to contact your insurance if you are planning a trip to make sure that you will be covered in any situation.

    Great question! The  plan you have should cover you wherever you are. If you are travelling, be sure to take your insurance card with you, to ease any problems that may occur. If you are moving, when it becomes time to renew, you may find that your rates may change, based on your new location, so be aware. If you have more questions, feel free to contact me, I'm happy to help. Thanks for asking!

    Typically, your health insurance will cover you in other states if it is an emergency or life-threatening situation. However, if it is a simple office visit, coverage may depend on the specific network coverage that you have, and what providers your insurer uses out of your area.

    Blue Cross, for example, along with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare, would tend to have a large network.
