Form CMS-1763, also known as “Request for Termination of Premium Hospital and/or Supplementary Medical Insurance,” is used by individuals who wish to voluntarily terminate their Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and/or Medicare Part B (medical insurance). This form is crucial for those who, for various reasons, decide that they no longer want to continue their coverage under these parts of Medicare. The termination of Medicare benefits is a significant decision that requires the completion and submission of CMS-1763 to ensure that the request is processed correctly and that the individual understands the implications of terminating their Medicare coverage.
The process for using CMS-1763 involves contacting the Social Security Administration (SSA) to set up an interview, during which the form is completed. This interview can be conducted either in person at an SSA office or over the phone. The purpose of the interview and the form is to ensure that the individual fully understands the consequences of discontinuing their Medicare coverage, such as potential gaps in health insurance and the need for alternative coverage.
