Employers supporting a group health plan, whether through insurance or self-insurance, are required to communicate the creditable or non-creditable status of the plan’s prescription drug coverage to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This reporting is facilitated through access to CMS’s online reporting system here.

2.Within 30 days after prescription drug plan termination.
3.Within 30 days after any creditable coverage status change.
