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.
