What can members do, and by when?

If your notice says you move to a new plan

If you do nothing: You are moved into UHC Dual Complete NM-S2 on January 1, 2027.
October 15 to December 7, 2026: Open enrollment: choose another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan, instead.

If your notice says your plan is ending

Your coverage: Ends December 31, 2026.
October 15 to December 7, 2026: Open enrollment: join another Medicare Advantage plan, or Original Medicare with a drug plan. Coverage starts January 1, 2027.
December 8, 2026 to the end of February 2027: A special enrollment period because the plan is leaving: you can still join a plan, but coverage starts the first day of the month after you join, so choose by December 31 to have no gap.
If you do nothing: You are enrolled in Original Medicare when the plan ends, and because you have Medicaid, Medicare enrolls you in a drug plan.

If you have Medicaid or Extra Help: You can switch to a different drug plan, or leave a Medicare Advantage plan for Original Medicare with a drug plan, once a calendar month; the change starts the first day of the next month.
