Is it wrong if I ask an insurance representative whether their address changes with state? Is it correct to ask "Does your address change with state or it remains the same throughout the country"?

Does your address change state wise? Is this correct to say?
 
We are talking about geography, right?

If one office is in a different state than another how could its address not be different? 🤔
 
This doesn't make sense. An insurance representative (one person) presumably works at (or out of) just one office. That would be the address you write to them at.

If you were talking about an entire company, it might make more sense. Let's say there's an insurance company whose headquarters are in London but they have regional offices. In that case, you might need to ask a rep whether you should write to them at the London address or at the address of the regional office they're based at. If it's the latter, and the company then transfer that rep to a different regional office, it would make sense for their postal address to change to that of their new office.

No, there are a lot of insurance companies part of federal Program. They have the same address throughout the states.

How about my sentences?

You should have told us that in post #1. It would have explained why you might ask a representative from a different insurance company if they have multiple addresses.

I'd say "Does the [postal/mail] address change depending on which state you work in?" or "Does the address change depending on which state the office I'm writing to is in?"

That doesn't seem possible. If, for example, a business has offices in North Carolina and South Carolina the offices in North Carolina will have different addresses than the ones in South Carolina. Indeed, different offices in the same state will have different addresses.

Yes, but as I stated, the business might have their headquarters somewhere else and it's possible that some correspondence has to be directed to that address.

Nope, you are wrong here. Search for insurance named tricare. You live in the USA. I think you should know about it.

I don't know what that means.

I mean you must have an insurance because you are a united states resident. Haven't you heard about this insurance named tricare that is exclusively for veterans and army personnal?

This is a very bizarre exchange, even for this forum! @tufguy - What exactly were you trying to say Tarheel was wrong about, and why does the fact you assume he has insurance make any difference?

I was just asking him whether he knew about Tricare.

No, you weren't. You stated that I should know that, and you suggested that I was ignorant if I didn't. I'm not in the insurance business. (Most people aren't.) There's no reason I should know every insurance company. In any case, that's entirely irrelevant to the topic.
