Notices Due to Medicare-Eligible Individuals
Employers who sponsor group health plans that offer prescription drug coverage to Medicare-eligible individuals are reminded that they must provide a Medicare Part D Creditable or Non-Creditable Coverage Notice to those individuals by October 15. This notice serves to inform Medicare-eligible individuals whether the prescription drug coverage offered is “creditable,” meaning it is expected to pay, on average, as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage.
