Reminder: October 14, 2011 Deadline for Medicare Part D Notices

Employers who sponsor health plans that provide prescription drug coverage to individuals entitled to Medicare Part A or enrolled in Medicare Part B are required annually to distribute a notice that informs participants whether their prescription drug coverage under the plan is “creditable” or “non-creditable.” The year’s notice must be delivered to participants by October 14, 2011. This is one month earlier than last year’s notice.
