- If you move out of our service area.
- If you are away from our service area for more than six months.
- If you move or take a long trip, you need to call Customer Care to find out if the place you are moving or traveling to is in our plan’s area.
- If you become incarcerated (go to prison).
- If you become deceased.
- If you are not a United States citizen or lawfully present in the United States.
- If you lie about or withhold information about other insurance you have that provides prescription drug coverage.
- If you intentionally give us incorrect information when you are enrolling in our plan and that information affects your eligibility for our plan. (We cannot make you leave our plan for this reason unless we get permission from Medicare first.)
- If you continuously behave in a way that is disruptive and makes it difficult for us to provide medical care for you and other members of our plan. (We cannot make you leave our plan for this reason unless we get permission from Medicare first.)
- If you let someone else use your member ID card to get medical care.
- You will not be disenrolled from the health plan without first obtaining approval from Medicare.
- If we end your membership because of this reason, Medicare may have your case investigated by the Inspector General.
- If you are assessed a Part D Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (Part D-IRMAA) by Medicare and you fail to pay. Medicare will tell us to disenroll you if you are in a plan that includes drug coverage.
We cannot ask you to leave our plan for any reason related to your health.
We must tell you our reasons in writing for ending your membership.
