CENTRAL HEALTH MEDICARE PLAN AND THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES
Central Health Medicare Plan has a contract with the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), the government agency that runs Medicare. This contract
renews each year. At the end of each year, the contract is reviewed, and either
Central Health Medicare Plan or CMS can decide to end it. You will get 90 days advance
notice in this situation. It is also possible for our contract to end at some other
time during the year, too. In these situations we will try to tell you 90 days in
advance, but your advance notice may be as little as 30 or fewer days if CMS must
end our contract in the middle of the year. For more information about Medicare,
call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048. You
can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Or, visit
