Can health insurance be used across state lines?

If you have health insurance in one state and you travel to another state and get sick or injured will the health insurance cover a hospital visit or stay in another state?

That depends on your health insurance company and policy.

My health insurance company won't cover me if I'm out of state. I was out of state one day and got sick and had to go to the hospital and my health insurance didn't cover it and I was sent a bill for the hospital stay.

You'll have to read your policy in detail to be sure whether a health insurance company covers out of state.

Some will and some won't.
