Rights and responsibilities upon disenrollment

When you leave or end your membership in Blue Cross Medicare plans it's called a disenrollment. A voluntary disenrollment is when you decide to leave the plan. You can do this only at certain times of the year, such as if you want to change to another plan during the annual enrollment period. An involuntary disenrollment is when the plan must end your membership. An example of this type of disenrollment is if you do not pay the plan's premiums.

If you are disenrolled for any reason, the plan will notify you of the date your membership will end and the reason for it ending. If you have questions about disenrollment, please call Customer Service at the back of your member ID card.

Rights and responsibilities upon disenrollment

When you leave or end your membership in Blue Cross Medicare plans it's called a disenrollment. A voluntary disenrollment is when you decide to leave the plan. You can do this only at certain times of the year, such as if you want to change to another plan during the annual enrollment period. An involuntary disenrollment is when the plan must end your membership. An example of this type of disenrollment is if you do not pay the plan's premiums.

If you are disenrolled for any reason, the plan will notify you of the date your membership will end and the reason for it ending. If you have questions about disenrollment, please call Customer Service at the back of your member ID card.
