For those who go back and forth, how do you manage Health care? I have doctors here, but I’m aging into Medicare so I’m need to chose a Medicare plan. The popular plans don’t seem to work outside of central Florida. I’d like to have most of my planned medical care, including my primary at my summer home.
Are there Medicare plans that work anywhere in the US? Or do I pick a plan that works in my snowbird state and then just use regular Medicare here? I do have the option of holding onto my federal retirement medical insurance. Can I use that as backup for Florida in case of emergencies while I’m here in the winter?

Blue Cross/Blue Shield works everywhere and when you age into Medicare, you can add BCBS as a supplement.
Coverage that goes where you go: Travel worry-free with Blue Cross Blue Shield | Blue Cross Blue Shield
I'm sure there may be others, but I bring my BCBS everywhere I go and never have a problem.
