Disenrollment Information
Participation in LIFE Pittsburgh is voluntary. A Participant may choose to voluntarily disenroll from LIFE Pittsburgh at any time and without cause by notifying LIFE Pittsburgh staff, either verbally or in writing, with as much advance notice as possible. A Participant's voluntary disenrollment becomes effective on the first day of the month following the date LIFE Pittsburgh receives the notice of disenrollment
In accordance with federal PACE regulations (42 CFR §460.164), LIFE Pittsburgh may also initiate involuntary disenrollment under specific circumstances, such as when a Participant no longer meets eligibility requirements, engages in disruptive or threatening behavior, or fails to meet financial obligations, as outlined in applicable regulations.
Until the disenrollment effective date, LIFE Pittsburgh remains responsible for the Participant's care and will continue to provide and authorize all the services needed. LIFE Pittsburgh staff will work with the Participant and their representatives to support continuity of care, including care coordination, referrals, and transition planning to other Medicare, Medicaid, or community-based services, as appropriate.
For complete details regarding both voluntary and involuntary disenrollment processes, please contact LIFE Pittsburgh at 412-388-8040 to speak with a member of the Quality and Compliance Department
