Important Information About Your Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan You must live within the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands or American Samoa, and be a U.S. citizen or lawfully present in the United States to participate in this plan. It is your responsibility to inform your former employer of any address changes. You can join a new Medicare prescription drug plan or Medicare health plan from October 15 to December 7. Except in special cases, you cannot join a new plan at any other time of the year. If you leave this plan and don’t have or get other Medicare prescription drug coverage or creditable coverage (as good as Medicare’s), you may be required to pay a late enrollment penalty (LEP) if you go 63 days or more without Medicare Part D coverage or other creditable prescription drug coverage. Some people may have to pay an extra premium amount because of their yearly income. If you have to pay an extra amount, the Social Security Administration – not your Medicare plan – will send you a letter telling you what that extra amount will be and how to pay it. If you have any questions about this extra amount, contact the Social Security Administration at 1.800.772.1213. TTY users call 1.800.325.0778. Medicare beneficiaries with low or limited income and resources may qualify for Extra Help. If you qualify, your Medicare prescription drug plan costs will be less. Once you are enrolled in this drug plan, Medicare will tell the plan how much assistance you will receive and Express Scripts will send you information on the amount you will pay. If you are not currently receiving Extra Help, you can contact 1.800.MEDICARE (1.800.633.4227) to see if you might qualify. TTY users call 1.877.486.2048. Once you are a member of this plan, you have the right to file a grievance or appeal plan decisions about payment or services if you disagree.
