Boston residents who snowbird
Many Massachusetts residents winter in warmer states (Florida, Arizona, the Carolinas, Nevada). If you're one of them, your Medicare Advantage plan from your Boston county likely won't cover routine care while you're away — only emergencies.
Consider Original Medicare + Medigap + a national Part D plan for two-state coverage. See snowbird Medicare planning → or use the state-pair guides:
