1. Disenrollment Request Filed During the Open Enrollment Period

A disenrollment request filed during the open enrollment period is effective the first day of the month following the month the election is received by the MA organization. For example, a disenrollment request received on 03/03/07 will be effective 04/01/07. CMS intends “receipt” to mean when the organization comes into the actual possession of the request — NOT the postmark date of the disenrollment request.
