What can members do, and by when?
If you live in Fulton (OH), Lucas (OH), Ottawa (OH), Sandusky (OH), Wood (OH)
- If you do nothing
- You are moved into MedMutual Advantage Elite Prime 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 you live in Branch (MI), Hillsdale (MI), Lenawee (MI), Monroe (MI), Washtenaw (MI)
- Your coverage
- Ends December 31, 2026: MedMutual Advantage Elite Prime is not sold where you live.
- 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, without a drug plan unless you join one (with Extra Help or full Medicaid, Medicare enrolls you in one).
- Without a drug plan
- Going 63 days or more in a row without drug coverage can mean a late enrollment penalty if you join a drug plan later; joining by the end of February keeps a January and February gap under 63 days, waiting longer does not.
