If you notify your Medicare Advantage Plan or Part D plan of a \n permanent move in advance, you have an SEP to switch to another Medicare \n Advantage or Part D plan beginning as early as the month before your move and lasting \n up to two months after the move. If you notify your Medicare Advantage or Part D plan \n of a permanent move after you move, you have an SEP to switch to another private \n health or drug plan, beginning the month you tell your plan, plus two more full months \n thereafter.","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.231968,"width":0.7622770000000001,"height":0.22033400000000003}},{"text":"If you did not notify your private health or drug plan about a move: \n • and your Medicare Part D plan learns from CMS or the post office that you \n moved over twelve months ago, the plan should disenroll you twelve months \n after your move.
