The District 33 prescription benefit is considered “creditable," meaning that the group health prescription drug benefit is as good as, if not better than, any Medicare Part D Prescription Drug benefit. The reason for the notification is to give Medicare beneficiaries the option to elect a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug benefit, should they choose. Most Medicare beneficiaries decide not to if they are already on a creditable plan, but if you leave your employment in District 33, you will need this notice to show proof to your next plan that you previously had creditable coverage.
