Medicare Part D Notices

Group health plan sponsors must provide a notice of creditable or non-creditable prescription drug coverage to Medicare Part D-eligible individuals covered by, or who apply for, prescription drug coverage under a health plan. This creditable coverage notice alerts individuals on whether their prescription drug coverage is at least as good as the Medicare Part D coverage.

The notice generally must be provided at various times, including when an individual enrolls in the plan and each year before October 15 (when the annual Medicare Open Enrollment Period begins).

Model notices are available on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ website, which we've linked here.
