Why do people leave their Medicare plans? Surveys from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) offer nearly 30 different reasons from five major categories.

Here’s what I learned about the most common problems and how you can avoid them when you shop during open enrollment this fall. These are listed in order of the most commonly cited reasons for leaving Medicare Advantage plans.
