Medicare Part D Notice Deadline: What Employers Need to Know

Employers offering prescription drug coverage must notify Medicare-eligible members by Oct. 15 whether their plan is creditable (equal to or better than Medicare Part D) or non-creditable. They must also explain members’ options under Medicare Part D.

How Allied Supports You

Allied simplifies this process. In early October, Allied sends notices to employees aged 64+ and provides a copy to the employer. The notice explains whether the coverage is creditable and outlines the impact on Medicare Part D enrollment.

Employer Action Required

Employers must complete a short online disclosure to CMS confirming their coverage status. Disclosure to CMS form 

What Members Should Know

• Creditable coverage: Members can delay Medicare Part D enrollment without penalty.
• Non-creditable coverage: Delaying enrollment may result in late penalties.
