I live in Florida, so my Virginia license is a non-resident license, and the Virginia record lists my state of residency as Florida. It has one qualification, health.
Open the Virginia Bureau of Insurance agent search.
Search my NPN, 8940178, then open my record.
Check license 1447142, its health qualification, and that it shows as active.
Virginia lists one qualification on my license: health.
My Virginia license has no life qualification, so everything here is about health coverage.
How that coverage works
These explain how each kind of coverage works in general. They don't list which plans are sold in your area.
Your State Health Insurance Assistance Program isn't connected to any insurance company or health plan. That makes it a good place to double-check anything an agent tells you, me included.
State Health Insurance Assistance Program
1-800-552-3402
In Virginia the State Health Insurance Assistance Program is VICAP, offered through your local Area Agency on Aging. VICAP doesn't sell insurance. It helps with Medicare and Part D, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, long-term care insurance, appeals and help with costs, including for people under 65 with a disability.

The Bureau takes insurance questions and complaints. Its Life and Health Consumer Services line is 804-371-9691, and you can file a complaint on its website.

Virginia adds a yearly chance of its own. Since July 1, 2025, its Medigap Birthday Rule gives a Virginia resident who has a Medigap policy issued in Virginia a 60-day window starting on their birthday each year. In that window you can switch to a Medigap policy with the same benefits, Plan G to Plan G for example, from any insurer selling Medigap in Virginia, and the insurer can't turn you down or charge you more because of your health.
Your current insurer has to send you a notice 15 to 30 days before the window opens. Moving to a plan with more or fewer benefits can still mean health questions, a deductible you have already met may not carry over, and the rule does not apply to Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.
