Ending your membership with HealthChoice can be voluntary (your choice) or involuntary (not your choice). You might choose to leave the Plan, or in certain situations, such as non-payment of premiums, HealthChoice may be required to end your membership. There may also be other limited times when HealthChoice may be required to end your membership, for example, if you move outside the United States.

If HealthChoice ends your membership, we will send you a letter explaining our reasons, and how you can file a complaint against HealthChoice, if you choose to do so.

If you choose to end your membership with HealthChoice and enroll in another plan offered through OSEEGIB, you may do so during the annual Option Period. If you drop coverage through OSEEGIB, you will not be able to re-enroll at a later date, and you may forfeit the retirement system contribution paid toward your health insurance.

If you are enrolled in one of the HealthChoice Medicare Supplement Plans with Part D, remember that if you drop your coverage at any time, you must enroll in another qualified Part D plan within 63 days to avoid a Medicare late enrollment penalty.
