How to drop your Medicare drug plan

If you want to drop your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) and you don't want to join a new plan, you can do so. You can also disenroll by doing one of these things:

1. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
2. Send a letter to the plan to tell them you want to disenroll.

If you drop your plan and want to join another Medicare drug plan later, you have to wait for an enrollment period. You may have to pay a late enrollment penalty.
