Medicare Part D Creditable Coverage Disclosure Notices

Employers that offer prescription drug coverage have the legal obligation to inform their Medicare beneficiaries whether the prescription drug coverage they offer is as good as Medicare Part D coverage (“creditable” coverage) or not as good as Medicare Part D coverage (“non-creditable” coverage). This information must come in the form of a Creditable or Non-Creditable Coverage Notice with specific timing and content requirements.

As a service to you, Priority Health will undertake the required November 15, 2009, Creditable Coverage Disclosure Notice mailings for self-funded clients that purchase our prescription drug benefits. If you have any questions, please contact your account manager.
