Abstract

Rapid disenrollment, when a beneficiary disenrolls from a new Medicare Advantage (MA) plan within the first three months of the calendar year, could signal enrollees' immediate dissatisfaction with their plan. The proportion of MA enrollees who rapidly disenrolled tripled from 3.5 percent in 2017 to 12.2 percent in 2022. We report on trends in rapid disenrollment to guide future actions.
