Disenrollment from a non-PFFS (Private Fee-For-Service) Medicare Advantage (MA) plan can occur for various reasons, but eligibility expiration does not constitute a reason for disenrollment. Non-PFFS MA plans typically have specific criteria that determine enrollment, such as age, residency in the service area, and Medicare eligibility status. As long as an individual is eligible for Medicare and meets the plan's enrollment criteria, they can remain enrolled in the plan.

On the other hand, enrollment in a stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) can lead to disenrollment from a non-PFFS MA plan, as Medicare rules usually stipulate that an individual can only be enrolled in one MA plan at a time. Failure to pay premiums can also result in disenrollment, as plans require timely payment to maintain coverage. Voluntary disenrollment is a choice that members have the right to make at any time if they decide to switch plans or no longer wish to be enrolled. Therefore, eligibility expiration stands apart as a factor that doesn’t necessitate disenrollment from a non-PFFS MA-only plan.
