If you choose to end your membership or disenroll from Troy Medicare
If you choose to disenroll from Troy Medicare, there are only certain times during the year, or certain situations, when you may voluntarily end your membership in the plan. The process for voluntarily ending your membership varies depending on what type of new coverage you are choosing.
If you are leaving our plan, you must continue to get your medical care through our plan until your membership ends.
You may end your membership in our plan only during certain times of the year, known as enrollment periods. All members can leave the plan during the Annual Enrollment Period and during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. In certain situations, members of Troy Medicare may be eligible to end their membership at other times of the year. This is known as a Special Enrollment Period.
Who is eligible for a Special Enrollment Period?
If any of the following situations apply to you, you may be eligible to end your membership during a Special Enrollment Period. These are just examples; for the full list, you can contact the plan, call Medicare, or visit the Medicare website (https://www.medicare.gov):
When are Special Enrollment Periods? The enrollment periods vary depending on your situation. To find out if you are eligible for a Special Enrollment Period, please call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. TTY users call 1-877486-2048. If you are eligible to end your membership because of a special situation, you can choose to change both your Medicare health coverage and prescription drug coverage. This means you can choose any of the following types of plans:
