Any method that works? Seems to be a catch 22 and I'll having trouble wrapping my head around the Med Supp carrier's logic on this one.
Trans America Med Supp is requiring a "Letter of Dis-Enrollment" from the MAPD before offering coverage on their Med Supp for several clients who signed up for a MAPD upon turning 65, and who have not been in it long, absolutely less than 12 months.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a client is technically dis-enrolled from the MAPD upon enrollment in a separate Part D from the MAPD.
The Part D conveys the information on the new enrollment in their plan to Medicare, and the Part D carrier communicates that info to the MAPD carrier, and then the client has to request this "Letter of Dis-Enrollment, " then the client has to sign it, return it to the MAPD and then the MAPD must produce said letter on my request for me to send to Trans America Med Supp underwriting.
This must all take place before the beginning of the month, when the client will effectively be without coverage-without the MAPD-because the enrollment to the Part D and the Med Supp were simultaneous, and both begin 9/1/2016.
It will totally be seamless. Yea, right.
This additional layer of bureaucracy is IMHO is asinine, and redundant.
Opinions?
