  country. That includes all 50 states and several
  U.S. territories, including
• American Samoa
• Guam
• Northern Mariana Islands
• Puerto Rico
• S. Virgin Islands
• You can receive Medicare Part A and Part B
  benefits irrespective of your state. It means
  basic your basic inpatient and outpatient care
  will be paid through the original Medicare
  program.
• Original Medicare pays for much, but not all, of
  the cost for covered health care services and
  supplies. A Medicare Supplement Insurance
  (Medigap) policy can help pay some of the
  remaining health care costs, like copayments,
  coinsurance, and deductibles. Some Medigap
  policies also cover services that Original
  Medicare doesnt cover, like medical care when
  you travel outside the U.S.
• Your coverage for Medicare Part A and Part B will
  not change though you move out of state. Just
  make sure that the physician you choose after you
  move participate in the Medicare Program.
