Medicare beneficiaries who are unhappy with their Medicare Advantage plans have until Thursday, Feb. 14, to disenroll. According to the Medicare Rights Center, beneficiaries can drop their private plan and enroll in Original Medicare.
If people don't make changes this week, they won't be able to change their health coverage until the Fall open enrollment period, which begins Oct. 15, 2013.
"Time is running out for beneficiaries to take advantage of the Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period," said Joe Baker, president of the Medicare Rights Center. "People who are unhappy with their plan and wish to make the change back to Original Medicare should do so promptly, but also thoughtfully. The window of opportunity is closing, but you should review your coverage options carefully before you disenroll."
