I Have Drug Coverage Through My Employer, Do I Need a Medicare Part D Plan Too?

05/20/2021 By Ken Brannigan

That depends if the coverage is considered credible by Medicare. If the coverage is considered credible, then you are not required to enroll in a Medicare drug plan. This means that your employer prescription drug coverage is expected to pay, on average, as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug plan.  

Your employer must provide a creditable coverage notice to all Medicare eligible individuals. Additionally, once you decide to move to a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, your employer must provide you with a creditable coverage letter to give to Medicare so that you are not penalized for not having coverage.

Oh my gosh!! I was so confused about the Medicare Supplement process. I am turning 65 soon and am retired and have always had insurance thru my former employer. I didn’t know a thing about going on Medicare and was struggling to sort it all out.

A friend of mine recommended contacting Senior HealthCare Solutions, so I did. Melissa was FANTASTIC!! She was professional, responsive, caring and friendly. She explained the steps I needed to take, gathered my information, helped me choose good plans for MY specific needs and took care of my applications over the phone. 1-2-3, eesy-peesy and I was done!! And it didn’t cost me a DIME!!! WOW!!! I HIGHLY recommend Senior Healthcare Solutions for anyone who’s overwhelmed with making the right choices with Medicare Supplemental Insurance and Rx coverage. It’ll take a load off your mind!
