will take effect on the first (1st) day of the second (2nd) month after the request was submitted. Beneficiaries do not need to make an enrollment decision to opt into the MMP within a specified timeframe after receiving notice from EOHHS informing them that they are eligible to enroll in the MMP. However, no new enrollments will be accepted during the six (6) months prior to the end date for the Federal demonstration under which the MMP was implemented. The Federal demonstration is scheduled to end on December 31, 2020. 3. Opportunity to Change – Beneficiaries who are being passively enrolled or who opt-in to an MMP may cancel their enrollment any time prior to their effective enrollment date. Once enrolled, beneficiaries may change service delivery options on a monthly basis at any time, but enrollment in the MMP will continue through the end of the month. The requested change will be effective on the first (1st) day of the following month. Beneficiaries who cancel enrollment into or voluntarily disenroll from an MMP will be enrolled in fee-for-service (FFS), effective the first (1st) day of the following month. Beneficiaries who voluntarily disenroll from the MMP plan can choose to re-enroll in the plan on a monthly basis if they continue to be eligible for enrollment in the MMP, but they will not be passively enrolled in the MMP. Beneficiaries may also be eligible for enrollment in PACE (see § 1.13 of this Part). 4. Auto Re-Assignment after Resumption of Eligibility – MME beneficiaries who are disenrolled from an MMP due to a loss of eligibility are eligible for re-enrollment in the plan if eligibility is reinstated and they otherwise meet the requirements for enrollment. Beneficiaries eligible for re-enrollment will be passively enrolled if they meet the requirements for passive enrollment. Otherwise, they will be offered opt-in enrollment. 1.7.6 MMP Member Disenrollment A. EOHHS Initiated Disenrollment – Reasons for EOHHS disenrollment from an MMP include but are not limited to: 1. Death; 2. No longer eligible for Medicaid; 3. Loss of Medicare Part A and/or Part B; 4. Enrollment into a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan or Medicare Part D prescription drug plan; 5.
