Not for distribution without written permission from CVS/caremark. 00000 Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to fill out any paperwork to enroll? –No. You will automatically be enrolled in the plan if you are currently enrolled in the CVS/Caremark prescription plan. What happens if I choose to Opt out? –You will lose prescription drug coverage for you and your dependents and may not be able to re-enroll at a later date. Will all of my current medications be covered? –Yes, if your medications are currently covered they will remain covered. In rare cases, a medication may not be covered under the Part D plan, however, the M-NCPPC wrap plan may cover the medication. SilverScript is required to send the member a letter stating that they are subject to a 30- day transition fill. The member should disregard this letter. I didn’t receive a new SilverScript Card, can I use my Caremark card? No, after 01/01/2015, your Caremark card will be inactive. Please refer to the following slide for instructions.

Not for distribution without written permission from CVS/caremark. 00000 Frequently Asked Questions (continued) Can I continue to use the same pharmacy? –Yes, the pharmacy networks are unchanged to the member. Why am I receiving an explanation of benefits every month if the M-NCPPC Wrap Plan is covering all of my medication? –The CMS regulations apply for all Part D prescription programs including EGWP. What is a late enrollment penalty (LEP)? –Only a handful of members may have a late enrollment penalty. This means you did not enroll in a Medicare Part D plan when you originally became eligible. What do I do if I receive a letter from SilverScript stating that I am not eligible to participate in the plan? –In most cases, the reason for this letter is that SilverScript and CMS do not have the same eligibility information (date of birth, Medicare #, address). You should follow the instructions in the letter to correct the eligibility information.
