I may be moving to a different state. How will that effect my medicare and medicaid?
In about a year I will be moving from Alabama to Northern Florida. I am on disability and receive Medicare and Medicaid QMB from my state. How do I go about seeing what medical changes might be? Also do different states have different criteria for Medicaid and the QMB program?

You need to contact Social Security to notify them of your new address. Other than that it will not be affected.
As for your Medicaid, you will need to reapply in the new state. Yes, they have different criteria for Medicaid in each state.
Why not contact social services, or whatever it is called this week, in Florida and ask them. You need to contact them yourself. If you are going through some type of home health service for your state medical help, contact your worker.
