I do sell the AARP Medicare Supplement. I have heard that people signing up for the supplements now get calls from UnitedHealthcare (the actual insurance company) to confirm that people have cancelled their Medicare Advantage plan. If a person wants to leave their Medicare Advantage plan and go back to Medicare, they should enroll in a “stand-alone” Part D plan and this enrollment will disenroll them from the Medicare Advantage plan. This is because Medicare has this information in each person’s record. When the Part D enrollment goes into a person’s record, the Medicare Advantage plan is booted from the person’s record.
