Creditable Coverage Reporting
Each year, group health plan sponsors that provide prescription drug coverage to Medicare eligible individuals must disclose whether that coverage is "creditable," meaning it is expected to pay on average as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug plan.
Deadlines for Disclosure:
- To Medicare Eligible Individuals: Annually by October 15th
- To CMS: No later than 60 days from the beginning of each plan year
