Re: Annual Notice of Creditable Prescription Drug Coverage
The Medicare Modernization Act requires entities that provide prescription drug coverage to disclose to their Medicare Part D eligible individuals whether the entity’s coverage is creditable. This must be completed each year in conjunction with the Medicare Part D Annual Coordinated Election Period from October 15 through December 7 for coverage beginning the following January 1.
A notice must be provided no later than October 15 to eligible employees.
Please see BA Memo #26-04 for instructions.
