Many insurance companies do not have policies that can be transferred from state to state and it is best to ask your provider if they do or not. If it is not potable you most likely would have to re apply in the state you are moving to. US Health Advisors policies are portable to other states. Feel free to contact me for more information.
Most national carriers issue policies using a national network and can be continued even if you move to another state.
Blue Cross plans are an exception. If you have a Blue Cross plan and change your residence to another state you must apply for a new health insurance plan. You can apply for coverage from Blue or another carrier.

How do you transfer health insurance from state to state? Well in most cases you don't transfer your health plan, you transfer the fact that you have carried insurance before and should not be subject to pre-existing clauses. That is what "Portability" means. You are able to transfer your history of having insurance to a new insurance plan.
Blue Cross plans are an exception. If you have a Blue Cross plan and change your residence to another state you must apply for a new health insurance plan. You can apply for coverage from Blue or another carrier.
