Effective Jan. 1, 2006, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) added a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit to the Medicare program, known as Medicare Part D. Employers with group health plans that provide prescription drug coverage to Medicare Part D eligible individuals are subject to disclosure requirements under Medicare Part D.
Medicare Part D requires employers to disclose whether their prescription drug coverage is “creditable” to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and to Medicare Part D eligible individuals. These disclosures must be made on annual basis and at certain other designated times.
In addition, the MMA created a subsidy to encourage employers with retiree prescription drug plans to maintain this coverage even after the Medicare Part D program became effective.
