Question
I wish to cancel Medicare, Plans B, C, and D. I wish to only retain Plan A. How do I do this?
Answer
Hi Bruce
Part B: go to the local Social Security office and disenroll.
C and D, send them a letter dropping them and stop paying after that date.
Strongly disagree with your actions. If it is because of low income, a very serious mistake. You are probably eligible for for LIS and also the Medicare Savings program, and might even be able to keep what you have for less than $100 a month.
Go to benefits.com===enter your information and check the results. It will look over abot 400 programs and show you what you are eligible for.
Look at the MEDICARE AND YOU 2009 manual you can get at the SSA office. In the middle of the back cover is the local number for the SHIP program. Call them and ask to speak to one of the counselors and they will explan your options.
