FirstCarolinaCare and FirstMedicare Direct Group Medicare Advantage Plan Termination Details

This is to inform you that your group’s current Medicare Advantage group plan will not be renewed. Effective January 1, 2026, FirstMedicare Direct will no longer offer Medicare Advantage coverage in your area. In order to maintain Medicare Advantage coverage beginning January 1, 2026, your group must enroll in a new Medicare Advantage group plan with another insurance company.  This information does not impact your current coverage.    

To have continued Medicare Advantage coverage for your group after December 31, 2025, your employer/former employer will need to choose a new health plan with another insurance company. FirstMedicare Direct recommends that you check with your employer/former employer, the plan sponsor or administrator about coverage options that might be available through your organization. 

If you have questions about this change, please contact FirstMedicare Direct directly using the number on your ID card. Our customer service agents are here to assist you and are available Monday - Friday, 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. local time to answer any questions you have.
