Should I use a U.S. address or report my new address abroad for banking and Social Security after moving out of the U.S.?

@Cherie *******

please describe the virtual mailbox. I just tried to change my address for SS and using a PO Box was rejected. I’m tempted to use the physical address of the PO but I’m hesitate at this point. My bank had no issues with the PO Box address.

If you’re flying to Phnom Penh you can fill out the form at immigration, it’s done on a tablet, $30USD fee, be sure to have that amount in cash, Thai baht is not accepted.

Aetna will cover ER costs anywhere and also the costs if admitted for a hospital stay.

You dropped your Medicare coverage? What’s the cost of your replacement coverage?

@Robert ***********

definitely ER treatment and will cover if admitted to stay in hospital. Getting a regular check up, I haven’t, could be out of pocket since the Dr is out of network.

I think it depends on the prescription. I was taking a prescription med for cholesterol, I got 90 day supplies for free. I think it really depends on the medication, probably need part C for insulin. The US prescription is useless here, would most likely need to get an MD here to prescribe, then file a claim to get reimbursed .
