Creditable Coverage Disclosure Notification - Medicare Part D

Because you are enrolled in a plan that includes prescription drug coverage, Allegany County is sending you this letter with an important notification of your creditable coverage status. Please keep this Notification of Creditable Coverage in a safe place. You may need to show proof of this status at a later date. Medicare requires that Medicare-eligible individuals be notified whether their current prescription coverage is as good as or better than the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage. This is important because joining a plan that is determined to be “creditable coverage” ensures that you will pay the lowest possible premium for your Medicare prescription drug coverage. Your prescription coverage through Allegany County is as good as or better than the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage. The enclosed notice includes information regarding the fact that you have the option to join a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. It is NOT necessary for you to enroll in Medicare Part D. Part D is not free; the premium would be the responsibility of the retiree. Should you decide to enroll in Part D, Allegany County WILL NOT pay the premium. We encourage you to learn more about Medicare Part D by visiting www.medicare.gov. If you have any questions about your current benefits, please contact the Human Resource Department of Allegany County at 585-268-9215.
