UnitedHealthcare Creditable Coverage Reminder
The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) mandates that certain entities offering prescription drug coverage,
including employer and union group health plan sponsors, disclose to all Medicare-eligible individuals with
prescription drug coverage under the plan whether such coverage is “creditable”. This determination is mandatory
at least once a year and the deadline for completion is Nov. 15, 2010. The customer, not UnitedHealthcare, sends
creditable coverage notices to its members. However, the customer can pay UnitedHealthcare to send creditable
coverage notices to its members on its behalf.
Please contact your TIE Customer Service Account Manager with any questions, or you may visit the
CMS website for more information.
