14 OCTOBER 1, 2005 Smoke Signals Why Stay with Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage? You may have heard about Medicare's new prescription drug coverage, also known as Medicare Part D. Maybe you're wondering if a Part D plan is right for you. For your peace of mind, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde would like to remind you that you already have creditable coverage. "Creditable coverage" means that your current plan's prescription drug coverage is, on average, as good as Medicare Part D coverage. Even better, you do not have to do anything to be covered. Just stay with your current plan through the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. You can continue enjoying your prescription drug coverage without shopping around and comparing different plans. You're already enrolled so you don't need to go through a new enroll ment process. You can keep using the same network of pharmacies. You still have the same affordable copayments for your prescription drugs. You will be notified in writing that you have creditable coverage. Be sure to keep that letter in a safe place. If, after May 15, 2006 you should choose to enroll in one of the new prescription drug plans approved by Medicare, you may be asked for a copy of that letter. The creditable coverage letter you received will let a new plan know that you have creditable coverage and are not required to pay a higher premium amount on your new cover age. If you have questions, please call Allyson Lecatsas at 503-879-2221.
