Report Link CMS Issues Updated Creditable Coverage Notices.Ford & Harrison LLP - August 15, 2008 Employers and other entities providing prescription drug coverage to Medicare-eligible individuals by means other than a Medicare Part D plan must provide notice regarding whether the coverage is “creditable,” meaning whether the actuarial value of the coverage is equal to or exceeds that provided for under Medicare Part D. Report Link Court of Appeals Clears Way for Retiree Benefits to Coordinate with Medicare.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - June 14, 2007 On June 4, 2007, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals issued a long-awaited decision that lifts a cloud that has been threatening a common design feature of many retiree medical plans. Specifically, this decision defeated the AARP's attempt to prevent the EEOC from finalizing a Medicare coordination regulation that will permit an employer's retiree medical plan to coordinate with Medicare or terminate upon Medicare eligibility. Because this is the same court that previously ruled that such coordination violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), it is expected that this decision will alleviate employer concerns about retiree medical plan designs that take Medicare eligibility into account.
