How to Change My Address for Medicare

Medicare is important to millions of Americans who depend on its financing to help pay for health care and other medical bills. However, if you are planning on moving, or if you already have, it is important to have your Medicare address switched to your new residence. If you do not, you may not receive your Medicare benefits when attempting to pay for medical bills.
