Note: If you fail to pay premiums for the coverage period prior to your termination date, your coverage may be terminated

due to non-payment.

Retroactive termination requests

Retroactive terminations, i.e., termination dates in the past, are only permitted in the event of the subscriber’s death. A copy of the subscriber’s death certificate must be submitted with this Termination Form.

Cancelling a termination request

If you submit a termination form but then decide to keep your coverage, it may be possible to withdraw your termination

request. Please note:

■■You cannot withdraw a termination request if you have coverage through the Maryland or DC Health Exchanges.

■■For coverage obtained directly from CareFirst

The withdraw request must be received by CareFirst in writing.

If you are enrolled in a grandfathered plan (you enrolled in a plan before March 23, 2010), you may not be able to re-enroll in that grandfathered plan after coverage is terminated.

Coverage change due to open enrollment

Switching plans during Open Enrollment does NOT automatically cancel your current coverage. Termination requests must be submitted for the following:

■■Changing and switching from an On-Exchange individual plan to an Off-Exchange individual plan—or vice versa.

■■Switching to an employer plan.

■■Changing health insurers.

■■Moving out of state.

If you do not terminate your old plan by December 31, your premium payment for that plan will be due on January 1.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the Carefirst Cancellation form used for?

The Carefirst Cancellation form is designed to officially cancel your individual insurance coverage with CareFirst. Whether you need to terminate your medical, dental, or vision insurance, this form is necessary for your request to be processed. Keep in mind that it can't be used for changes to dependents or for coverage obtained via employer or federal exchanges.

How do I fill out the Carefirst Cancellation form?

To complete the form, provide your personal information such as your name, address, and phone number. You'll also need to indicate your Subscriber ID and the group number for your plan. Then, select the reason for termination from a list, including options like moving out of state or switching to Medicare. Finally, sign and date the form before submitting it.

Where should I send the completed form?

Your completed cancellation form should be mailed to CareFirst at P.O. Box 14651, Lexington, KY 40512. Alternatively, you can fax it to 410-505-2901 or their toll-free number 800-305-1351. Keep a copy of the form for your records before sending it.

When will my coverage officially end after I submit the form?

Your requested cancellation will typically take effect on the last day of the month you specify. Make sure to submit the form at least 7–10 business days in advance to ensure it’s processed in time. If premiums are unpaid before your desired termination date, coverage may end due to non-payment.

Can I cancel my cancellation request?

If you change your mind after submitting the cancellation form, you might be able to withdraw your request. However, this must be done in writing. Be aware that if your coverage was obtained through the Maryland or DC Health Exchanges, you cannot withdraw the cancellation.

What happens if I miss the cancellation deadline?

If you don’t submit your cancellation by the last day of the month, you’ll need to pay the premium for the next month. It's crucial to get your form in on time to avoid unexpected charges.

Can I request a retroactive cancellation?

Retroactive cancellations are only allowed if the request is due to the subscriber's death. In that case, a copy of the death certificate must accompany the cancellation form for processing.

What if I have further questions or need help?

If you have additional questions about the cancellation process or need assistance, contact CareFirst's Member Service number located on the back of your member ID card. Having your member ID card handy will help facilitate the conversation.

Common mistakes

When completing the CareFirst Cancellation Form, individuals often make several common mistakes that can delay the process. One prevalent error is not providing complete subscriber information. The form requires specific details such as the subscriber's last name, first name, middle initial, residence address, and phone number. Leaving out any of this crucial information may lead to complications in processing the cancellation.

Another mistake occurs in the **selected termination date** section. To ensure the cancellation is effective by the desired date, it is essential to specify the last day of the month when you want the coverage to end. Many individuals mistakenly submit a date that does not align with this requirement, resulting in unexpected charges or prolonged insurance coverage.

Additionally, people sometimes choose the wrong reason for termination. The form includes various options, such as moving out of state, marriage, or going to Medicare. Selecting an incorrect reason can create confusion and possibly require additional documentation or clarification.

Failing to include the **Subscriber ID** is another frequent oversight. This identification number is critical for the provider to locate the correct policy. Without it, processing the cancellation may take significantly longer, which can be frustrating for the subscriber looking for a timely resolution.

Many also overlook the need for signatures. In Section 4, the subscriber or their legal guardian must sign and date the form. Failing to do this can lead to immediate rejection of the request, prolonging the cancellation process unnecessarily.

Finally, individuals often forget to check the mailing instructions. Sending the form to the wrong address or not using the correct method of submission can result in delays. CareFirst specifies that submissions should be sent to a specific P.O. Box or can be faxed. Ignoring these details could mean your cancellation does not go through as intended.

Documents used along the form

Along with the Carefirst Cancellation form, there are several other forms and documents that may be useful during the cancellation process. Here’s a brief description of each commonly used document.

Proof of Coverage Form: This document verifies current coverage details with Carefirst. It may be required when transitioning to another insurance provider or when applying for new coverage.
Change of Address Form: If the subscriber has moved, this form updates Carefirst with the new address. Accurate information is important for receiving necessary documents and communications.
Dependent Removal Request: For subscribers who need to remove dependents from their policy, this form specifies which dependents are being removed and the effective date.
Medicare Enrollment Form: When transitioning to Medicare, this document enrolls the individual in Medicare, ensuring eligible benefits are established properly.
Withdrawal of Cancellation Request: If the subscriber changes their mind about cancelling, this document formally requests to withdraw the cancellation submitted earlier.
Death Certificate: This form is required if the cancellation request is due to the subscriber's death. An official copy must accompany the cancellation form.

Understanding these documents can help streamline the cancellation process and ensure all necessary steps are followed correctly. Having the appropriate paperwork ready can prevent delays and complications.

Similar forms

Insurance Policy Cancellation Request: This document serves a similar purpose as the Carefirst Cancellation form, allowing individuals to formally request the termination of their insurance policies. Both require personal information and reasons for cancellation.
Health Insurance Termination Notice: Like the Carefirst form, this notice is typically used to communicate the end of health insurance coverage. It outlines the necessary steps and information needed to process the termination.
Disenrollment Form: This form allows individuals to disenroll from their health plans, similar to the Carefirst Cancellation form. It also requires identifying details and a reason for disenrollment.
Medicare Coverage Termination Request: Individuals wishing to stop their Medicare coverage must submit this request, which parallels the Carefirst form in structure and function, asking for subscriber details and reasons for termination.
Long-term Care Insurance Cancellation Form: This form is used to cancel long-term care insurance policies. Like the Carefirst Cancellation form, it requires subscriber information, selected plans for termination, and reasons for cancellation.
Dental Insurance Cancellation Request: This document works in a similar manner as the Carefirst Cancellation form, allowing subscribers to request termination of their dental coverage while collecting necessary personal information and reasons for ending coverage.
Vision Insurance Termination Form: Much like the Carefirst Cancellation form, this document is utilized to terminate vision insurance coverage and requires details about the subscriber and the reason for the request.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Carefirst Cancellation form, there are important guidelines to follow. Here are five key actions to take and avoid:

Do ensure accuracy: Provide correct information for each section, including names, addresses, and subscriber IDs, to prevent delays.
Do submit timely requests: Send your cancellation request by the last day of the month you want coverage to end.
Do include necessary documentation: If cancelling due to a death, include a copy of the death certificate.
Do contact customer service if needed: If you require assistance, use the Member Service number on your ID card for help.
Do not use the form for dependents: This form is exclusively for terminating a policy and cannot be used to change coverage for dependents.
Do not request retroactive termination: Retroactive termination is only allowed in the case of subscriber death if accompanied by proper documentation.
Do not assume coverage is cancelled: Until you receive confirmation from Carefirst, continue to check your coverage status.
Do not submit a termination after December 31: Failure to terminate your plan by this date means you will owe the premium for the next year.

Misconceptions

Form is for Insurance Applications: Many believe that the CareFirst Cancellation Form is an application to obtain insurance. In fact, it is strictly a termination form and cannot be used to apply for new coverage.
Can Cancel Through Third Parties: Some think they can cancel their insurance coverage through representatives or third parties. However, the cancellation must be initiated by the subscriber themselves using the official form.
Immediate Cancellation: A common misconception is that submitting the form results in an immediate cancellation. The effective date of termination follows specific guidelines and typically ends on the last day of the month in which the request is submitted.
Retroactive Cancellations Allowed: Individuals often assume they can cancel their coverage retroactively. Retroactive terminations are only permitted in cases of a subscriber’s death, and relevant documentation is required for such requests.
Withdrawal of Cancellation is Easy: While some believe that withdrawing a cancellation request is straightforward, the ability to do so depends on how the insurance was obtained. If obtained via Maryland or D.C. Health Exchanges, the withdrawal is not possible.
Can Use to Change Dependent Coverage: People might think they can use this form to make changes regarding dependents. In reality, this form cannot be used for modifying dependent coverage on an existing policy.
Cancellation Does Not Require Reason: Many assume they can cancel their coverage without providing a reason. The form requires subscribers to indicate a reason for termination, which is a necessary part of the process.
