so, you won\u2019t be able to just transfer your coverage and benefits, you will have to reapply for Medicaid in your new state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The income threshold in some states is higher, so even if you\u2019re currently on Medicaid in your state, you may not qualify in your new state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/tips-for-moving-out-of-state\/\">77 Tips for Moving Out of State: Priceless Relocation Advice<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"When_to_change_health_insurance_after_a_move\">When to change health insurance after a move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In case the answer to the question <em>Do I need to change health insurance when I move?<\/em> is affirmative (as it will almost always be when moving out of state), you\u2019ll probably start wondering when you\u2019ll be able to get new coverage &#8211;
