I have very little experience with Medicaid recipients, but I got a call from a guy who was fully dual eligible for Medicaid, and also has had Medicare (due to a disability) for quite some time.
He just got booted off his "full dual" Medicaid status and he now has a spend down of $280 before his Medicaid kicks in, every month, and he needed a Medicare Advantage policy.
He said that he called Medicaid and they put him in contact with a newer low quality carrier with horrible star ratings that he no longer wants, after doing some research of his own.
It's scheduled to go into effect on September 1st. Is there a special election period I can use to get him a different Medicare Advantage plan on September 1st, or even October 1st, if need be?
From my understanding, since he lost his full dual Medicaid status, they used that special election of losing full-dual Medicaid status to get him his current future-effective Medicare Advantage plan.
Just kinda confused. Ideally, I'd like to just get him off this plan, and onto a new plan, on September 1st. Thanks in advance.
