Disenrollment instructions

If you'd like to switch or leave your current health plan, below are the disenrollment forms available to you.

Please read these important instructions regarding requesting disenrollment from the plan.

Medicare Advantage disenrollments

When can I make changes to my Medicare coverage?

• Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) from October 15 through December 7 each year: Anyone can make any type of change for the following year, including adding or dropping Medicare prescription drug coverage or changing to a new Medicare Advantage plan. The effective date for the newly selected plan is January 1 of the following year.
• Open Enrollment Period (OEP) from January 1 through March 31 each year: Anyone enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan (except for a Medicare Medical Savings Account/MSA) has an opportunity to enroll in a different Medicare Advantage plan or disenroll from their Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare. The effective date of the disenrollment from the MA plan is the first day of the month following the date the disenrollment request is received. Disenrollment requests received by MA organization in January are effective February 1; those received in February are effective March 1; and those received in March are effective April 1. The OEP does not provide an opportunity for those enrolled in Original Medicare to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, nor does it allow for Part D changes for individuals enrolled in Original Medicare, including those enrolled in stand-alone Part D plans.
• Special Exceptions: You are unable to make changes at other times of the year, unless you meet certain special exceptions, such as moving out of the plan's service area, joining a plan in your area with a 5-star rating, or qualifying for extra help with your prescription drug costs. If you qualify for extra help with your prescription drug costs you may enroll in, or disenroll from, a plan at any time. If you lose this extra help during the year, your opportunity to make a change continues for two months after you are notified that you no longer qualify for extra help.
  
  People with limited incomes may qualify for extra help to pay for their prescription drug costs. If you qualify, Medicare could pay for your drug costs including monthly prescription drug premiums, annual deductibles, and co-insurance. Additionally, those who qualify won't have a coverage gap or a late enrollment penalty. Many people qualify for these savings and don't even know it. For more information about this extra help, contact your local Social Security office, or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778. You can also apply for extra help online at https://www.ssa.gov/medicare/part-d-extra-help.

When should I fill out the disenrollment request form?

You should fill out the appropriate disenrollment form during a valid election period, if you want to change to Original Medicare only and do not want Medicare prescription drug coverage.

You shouldn't fill out the appropriate disenrollment form if you are planning to enroll, or have enrolled, in another Medicare Advantage plan or other Medicare health plan. Enrolling in another Medicare plan will automatically disenroll you from our plan.

You shouldn't fill out the appropriate disenrollment form if you are enrolling in a Medicare prescription drug plan. Enrolling in a Medicare prescription drug plan will automatically disenroll you from the plan to Original Medicare.

Until your disenrollment date, you must keep using the plan's doctors. To avoid any unexpected expenses, you may want to contact us to make sure you've been disenrolled before you seek medical services outside of the plan's network.

How do I submit the disenrollment request?

If you want Original Medicare, as described above, you may fill out the appropriate disenrollment form during a valid election period, sign it, and send it back to us at:

AmeriHealth Medicare Department
1901 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103

What are my Medigap rights?

If you will be changing to Original Medicare, you might have a special temporary right to buy a Medigap policy, also known as Medicare supplemental insurance, even if you have health problems. For example, if you are age 65 or older and you enrolled in Medicare Part B within the past 6 months or if you move out of the service area, you may have this special right.

Federal law requires the protections described above. Your state may have laws that provide more Medigap protections. If you have questions about Medigap or Medigap rights in your state, you should contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at 1-877-839-2675. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for more information about trial periods. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

Benefits during disasters

In the event of a presidential emergency declaration, a presidential (major) disaster declaration, a declaration of emergency or disaster by a governor, or an announcement of a public health emergency by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, but absent, or prior to the issuance of, a section 1135 waiver by the Secretary, AmeriHealth will:

• Allow beneficiaries to seek care at specified non-contracted facilities (note that Part A and Part B benefits must be furnished at Medicare certified facilities);
• Pay out of network claims, or claims where prior authorization was not obtained at the in-network benefit level;
• Allow members to seek care from non-network providers at the in-network benefit level;
• Waive the 30-day notification requirement to enrollees as long as all the changes (such as reduction of cost-sharing and waiving authorization) benefit the enrollee and;
• Lift refill-too-soon edits for Part D prescription drugs;

Typically, the source that declared the disaster will clarify when the disaster or emergency is over. If, however, the disaster or emergency timeframe has not been closed 30 days from the initial declaration, and if CMS has not indicated an end date to the disaster or emergency, AmeriHealth will resume normal operations 30 days from the initial declaration.

We strongly encourage our members to maintain care via all applicable means including telemedicine visits through Teladoc Health or telehealth visits. Learn more about telemedicine and telehealth visits though your AmeriHealth plan.
