I had prescription drug coverage but I didn’t get a notice that clearly explained if my drug coverage was
creditable coverage.
Reminder: Most non-Medicare pl ans that offer prescription drug coverage, like employer or union
coverage, must send enrollees a notice explaining how their prescription dr ug coverage compares to
Medicare prescription drug coverage. Plans may provide this information in their benefits handbook or
as a separate written notice.
If you don’t know if your prescription drug coverage was creditable:
To help your case, you may want to send a letter to your previous plan and ask if your coverage was
creditable. Attach your letter and any response to this form. You shouldn’t wait to receive a response
before you send this request form, and there is no need to send a letter if your prior coverage was with
a Medicare Part D plan.

I believe the LEP is wrong because I was not eligible to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan during the
period stated by my current Medicare Part D plan. Example: You lived outside of the United States during
the initial enrollment period stated by your Medicare Part D plan. You must submit proof why you believe
the LEP is wrong, such as proof of overseas residency.
I believe the LEP is wrong because I was unable to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan due to a serious
medical emergency. You must submit proof that you experienced a serious medical emergency (e.g.
unexpected hospitalization) that affected your ability to timely enroll in a Medicare Part D plan.
I have/had extra help from Medicare to pay for my prescription drug coverage.
Dates of extra help: from_______________________ to ____________________________
