Medicare Part D Creditable Coverage Notifications
Help your employer-group clients meet the deadline: They’re required to notify Medicare-eligible employees by Oct. 15, 2021 about whether their employer-sponsored prescription drug plan is at least as good as the standard Medicare prescription drug program. This is defined as "creditable coverage."
Employers are required to notify eligible members of creditable coverage in these instances:
• |
Annually
|
• |
When a member becomes newly eligible for Medicare
|
• |
Any time a request for a notice is received
|
• |
If there’s a change to a member's drug plan
|
Large Group
Letters will be mailed to affected large employer-group clients by the end of September. To further help these clients meet the notification requirement, we’re posting information on our secure employer website for review. Click below to see a sample large group letter.
Small Group
CBIA Service Corp. will e-mail small group employers to remind them of this notification requirement. You or your Small Group clients can access Medicare Creditable Coverage plan information and sample letters by accessing the Medicare Part D page on your broker portal.
