Ending here: the plan isn't offered in the county in 2027, and the company can't move members into another plan under the same contract there. Members need to pick a new plan unless their letter says they will be moved. If they do nothing, they will have Original Medicare. May be moved: the plan ended everywhere, but the same contract still has other plans in the county. Some companies move members into one of those plans. Many don't. The letter from the plan will say. Everyone in these plans keeps Medicare.
