Which statement regarding disenrollment requests is NOT true?

The assertion that disenrollment can be initiated by anyone on behalf of the member is not true. This is primarily because disenrollment processes are meant to protect the rights and intentions of the member themselves. Medicare has specific protocols: only the member or an authorized representative (who has documented authority) can initiate disenrollment requests. This ensures that the decision to leave a plan is made with the member's consent and understanding, maintaining their autonomy over their healthcare choices.

In contrast, the ability to submit disenrollment requests verbally, the need for written confirmation, and the option for members to disenroll at any time (with limitations based on enrollment periods) all align with the standard procedures that facilitate and govern disenrollment processes effectively.
