Did you know that not only do you have to send out Medicare Part D Notices to your Medicare-eligible employees, but YOU as an Employer must also disclose to CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) whether your prescription drug coverage is creditable? This disclosure much be made to CMS on an annual basis.
