Notice of Creditable Prescription Drug Coverage
The Medicare Modernization Act mandates that a Notice of Creditable Coverage must occur by November 15 each year. This means a plan sponsor offering prescription drug coverage must notify all Medicare Part D-eligible individuals (active or retired) whether or not their prescription drug coverage is "creditable."
To determine if the prescription plans you offer meet the creditable coverage standards established by CMS, please check:

- 2010 BCN Creditable Coverage for Rx Plans (PDF)
- 2009 BCBSM Creditable Coverage for Rx Plans (PDF)
- 2009 BCN Creditable Coverage for Rx Plans (PDF)
Sample notices and CMS's Guidance for creditable and non-creditable coverage and CMS's instructions for the Notice of Creditable Coverage process are also available.
