CMS Pub. 100-16, ch. 11, § 80.2
Termination Process When CMS Initiates Contract Termination
If CMS decides to terminate a contract for reasons other than the grounds precipitating
immediate termination, it gives notice of the termination as follows:
• CMS notifies the MA organization in writing at least 90 days before the intended
date of the termination;
• CMS requires that the MA organization notify its Medicare enrollees of the
termination by mail at least 30 days before the effective date of the termination.
CMS pre-approves such member notifications; and
• CMS requires that the MA organization notify the general public of the
termination at least 30 days before the effective date of the termination by
publishing a notice in one or more newspapers of general circulation in each
community or county located in the MA organization's service area. CMS pre-approves these notices to the general public.
