Earlier Distribution Required for Medicare Part D Creditable Coverage Notice: Health Care Reform’s Earlier Annual Enrollment Period for Part D Accelerates Deadline for Distributing Creditable Coverage Notice

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("health care reform" or "PPACA") changed the annual coordinated election period for Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage). The annual election period for Medicare Part D is now October 15 through December 7. (Prior to PPACA’s enactment, the election period was November 15 to December 31). An updated model notice of creditable coverage is available on CMS’s website http://www.cms.gov/CreditableCoverage/Model%20Notice%20Letters.asp#TopOfPage .
