Reminder: Medicare Part D Disclosure Notice to CMS Due by March 1st (Article)

All group health plans, whether insured or self-funded, are required to provide notices of creditable or non-creditable coverage to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on an annual basis. The Creditable Coverage Disclosure Form filing must be accomplished electronically, and is due within 60 days of the commencement of the plan year.  For calendar year plans, this means the disclosure filing must be accomplished no later than March 1, 2015.  In addition, this disclosure form must be completed within 30 days upon other events such as when the prescription drug benefit is cancelled, or if any material change in the prescription drug benefits that would cause it to change status from creditable to non-creditable, or vice versa.  Guidance and instructions, as well as the disclosure form, are available on the CMS website.
