If you live in South Dakota, it would be most practical to seek medical care in SD. Of course, if you like driving, you could get a primary care doc
in Minnesota, eh?
If you claim SD residency but live in CA, good luck, as the CA tax man has right to dig thru your finances to deduce where you are living.

Just a FYI...
Original Medicare...yes.
Medicare Advantage...probably not. Read your policy.

So we could declare legal residency in S. Dakota, live in Mexico and come camp on your doorstep to go to a
Medicare-accepting facility in your town, Chuckles?

I am not speaking in jest.
It would appear that many people who live in Mexico as retirees have nowhere to receive their Medicare benefits when they travel to the US.
How does one do it?

In our instance, Mulegena, we transferred our banking accounts (all of them) to a bank that has a South Dakota base (in our instance, CITIBANK). Our
accounts are set up in both of our names as signers.
After that, we started making regular deposits and withdrawals. Then, when my retirement age came, I directed the Social Security Administration to
make direct deposits to that account. When my wife reaches her retirement age, she will do the same. (read between the lines if you wish).
BANAMEX is the local Mexican affiliate, and we make withdrawals and deposits there.
I just have to make phone calls every three months to CITIBANK so they don't think there is fraud in our account, since Mexico is on the list of
rampant credit and debit fraud.
Hope this helps.

Udo, I don't know what that has to do with Medicare? I LIVE in Kansas, my Cardiologist is in Kearney Nebraska,My Ortho guy is in Burlington Colorado.
I am asked to validate my mailing address and on the initial visit show my Medicare ID and that's it....On a trip last year, my companion got sick in
Iowa, and got treated there, same procedure. And YES YES Mulegena can camp in my yard any time she wants..The current complaint I am hearing is that
fewer facilities are taking any Medicare patients.....Just for grins, when I am at the local clinic this week, I will ask the nice person about
this....

The Medicare reference was made only as an example of how and why of direct deposits.

My Medicare supplemental plan's premiums are based upon the fact I live in San Diego county. The company would cover emergencies anywhere but I'm
expected to use a specific set of doctors and a specific hospital in San Diego for routine and/or continuing care. So there are some address
considerations with Medicare if you buy insurance to cover what Medicare doesn't.
