If you are moving into or already live in a long term care facility, you may enroll, switch or disenroll at any time while you're in the facility. Once you leave, this opportunity lasts up to 2 months after you leave the facility.
A long term care (LTC) facility provides care for residents who require some form of medical care. These include a skilled nursing facility (SNF), a nursing facility (NF), an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded (ICF/MR), a psychiatric hospital, a long-term care hospital, and a swing-bed hospital.
Please keep in mind that if you want to switch plans, you should simply join another one. This will automatically disenroll you from your old plan.
