If you have prescription drug coverage through a private insurance company,
or an employer/retiree plan, or VA, or a union plan, or a supplemental (Medigap)
policy, you may not need Part D coverage.
You should have received a letter, or a newsletter, or other information
from your insurance provider stating whether your prescription drug coverage
qualifies as "creditable coverage."
| If you have not received a letter describing whether your prescription
drug coverage qualifies as "creditable coverage," contact your
insurance plan Administrator or Human Resources department. |
"Creditable Coverage" means that your other source of prescription
drug coverage is at least as good as Part D coverage.
If your current prescription drug coverage qualifies as "creditable
coverage," you DO NOT need Part D coverage.
|
NOTE: If
you have Medicaid (MaineCare) and Medicare, as well as "creditable
coverage" from another source, you MUST disenroll from Part D by
calling 1-800-MEDICARE, or by calling the Part D drug plan into which
you have been automatically enrolled.
