Disenrollments. The term “disenrollment” will be used to refer to beneficiaries who leave the MCO in which they are enrolled. Disenrolled beneficiaries will generally enroll in another MCO. Disenrollment may be initiated by the enrollee, MCO, or BMS. The MCO must inform recipients of their right to terminate enrollment through the enrollee handbook. The MCO must have written policies and procedures for transferring relevant patient information, including medical records and other pertinent materials, when an enrollee is disenrolled from the MCO and enrolled in another MCO. Involuntary beneficiary disenrollment from the MCO may occur for the following reasons: 1. Loss of eligibility for Medicaid or for participation in Medicaid managed care; 2. The beneficiary’s permanent residence changes to a location outside the MCO’s Medicaid service area. However, if the resident moves to a location serviced by other MCOs, the resident must reenroll into a new MCO as soon as administratively possible; 3. Continuous placement in a nursing facility, State institution or intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded for more than thirty (30) calendar days; 4. Error in enrollment. This may occur if the beneficiary was inaccurately classified as eligible for enrollment in an MCO, if the beneficiary does not meet the eligibility requirements for eligibility groups permitted to enroll in an MCO, or after a request for exemption is approved if the enrollment broker enrolled the beneficiary while their exemption request was being considered; or
