If a person's plan is being terminated by CMS, what is their next step?

When a person's plan is being terminated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the appropriate next step is to follow special instructions provided by CMS, as well as any guidelines set by the individual's plan administrator. Often, CMS will send a notification detailing the reasons for the termination and outlining the next steps for affected beneficiaries. This may include information on how to enroll in a different plan, eligibility for a Special Enrollment Period, or other actions required to ensure continuous coverage.

By actively engaging with the provided instructions, individuals can ensure that they do not have a gap in their healthcare coverage and can choose a plan that meets their needs. It’s important to be proactive by responding to the situation in a timely manner and following the guidance from CMS and the current plan to navigate the alternatives available.
