Notice Requirements for Group Health Plans—Medicare PartD Creditable Coverage Notices

The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) requires entities (whose policies include prescription drug coverage) to notify Medicare-eligible policyholders whether their prescription drug coverage is creditable coverage, which means that the coverage is expected to pay, on average, as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage. Model notices that may be used to satisfy this requirement, issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, are available by clicking on the name of the notice in the chart below.
