SHINE is a Florida based organization. In order to get an Advantage plan you must first be enrolled in Medicare part A and B. Then you can pick a part C (Advantage plan).

You must enroll in Medicare in your state of primary residence which in his case is NY. He will have to find an organization similar to SHINE that is NY based.

At the risk of making too many assumptions here it sounds like he has an Advantage Plan now. He could go back to Medicare A and B but at 82 yrs old would probably find the supplemental too expensive or impossible to procure. The most portable Advantage plans are usually PPO's not HMO's. The insurance company most likely with the widest network is AARP United Health. My Florida AARP United Health PPO plan works seamlessly for me in reverse - Fl my main residence NY my seasonal residence.
