Annual Medicare Part D Notices Must Be Distributed by November 15, 2009

Release Date: November 09, 2009

Under Medicare Part D, a "Notice of Creditable Coverage" must be provided to all Medicare-eligible participants in employer-sponsored group health plans prior to November 15th of each year.  The notice informs participants whether the prescription drug coverage under the plan constitutes creditable or non-creditable coverage for purposes of Part D.  In preparing this year's notices, employers should take notice of revised model notices provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
