What Can I Do If My Medicare Advantage plan gets canceled in 2010?

Health insurers withdraw plans for different reasons, e.g. when they introduce a new similar plan or because of their inability to meet CMS enrollment thresholds.

For 2010, many Medicare Advantage Plan providers canceled their private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans in anticipation of the termination of all PFFS plans after December 31, 2010.

When insurers cancel plans, the plan members may be automatically enrolled in a similar plan. This automatic roll-over however does not mean that the insured cannot select other plans that are more suited to their needs, even if that means opting for another carrier.

Contact a local health insurance broker or visit plan comparison sites like Medicare Advantage Supplement Info to obtain information on other Medicare Advantage Plans available to you.
