Frequently Asked Questions
How can I cancel Medicare?
Cancelling a Medicare subscription is possible in several ways. At Xpendy we offer to do so by means of a registered letter. The reason to choose for a registered letter is that it offers security. Xpendy offers the possibility to generate and send a registered letter yourself or have Xpendy send you the cancellation letter.
When can I cancel Medicare?
With Medicare there is a possible term of notice. This means that after cancelling your subscription with Medicare, the subscription can continue for a maximum of the agreed cancellation period. How long a notice period is can differ per company. A notice period of 1 month is common, but this can differ per company.
Can I cancel Medicare in case of death?
At Xpendy, it is possible to complete the cancellation with only the subscription holder's name and address. This means that it's also possible to cancel a subscription for someone who has passed away.
Can I cancel Medicare when I move house?
Cancelling the service when moving house can also be done via Xpendy. However, this is not always necessary. Sometimes, you are expected to move your subscription. It is important to check your contract conditions.
How long does it take to cancel Medicare?
How long it takes to cancel a subscription varies from provider to provider. From the moment you receive the letter, the provider is obligated to process the cancellation. Keep in mind that from the moment the letter arrives at the provider, they have 10 working days to process the letter. In addition, there may be a notice period. This is different for each provider.
Can a subscription be cancelled before the end date with Medicare?
There are possibilities to cancel a subscription or contract before the end date. However, not all providers are willing to do this. It is possible that the provider makes it possible to cancel your contract before the agreed end date, but always keep in mind that the provider may charge you a cancellation fee/penalty.

If you are considering canceling your Medicare coverage, you can initiate the process by filling out the Request for Termination of Premium Hospital Insurance or Supplementary Medical Insurance (Form CMS-1763). This form can be downloaded as a PDF from the official Medicare website. Once completed, you can fax or mail it to your local Social Security office. It's important to note that you can cancel Medicare Part A only if you are paying a premium, while Medicare Part B can be canceled at any time.

What is the penalty for canceling Medicare Part B?
Canceling Medicare Part B can be done through their website by following the designated process. When canceling, it's important to be aware of the penalties involved. If you cancel Part B, you may incur a late enrollment penalty, resulting in paying an extra 10% for each year you could have signed up but didn't. Additionally, your premium may increase based on your income. It's crucial to consider these factors before proceeding with cancellation. Remember, you can also cancel Medicare Part B via Xpendy, but this option may involve some costs.

Why would I Disenroll from Medicare?
In some circumstances, disenrollment is voluntary; in others, beneficiaries are forced to disenroll. For instance, beneficiaries may be required to disenroll if they change residences outside the plan's service area, lose medicare eligibility, or if medicare terminates a plan's contract.
