09/08/06 Medicare Refund Error: How clients should return money

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced that they erroneously refunded Medicare beneficiaries’ Part D Prescription Drug plan premiums. Affected beneficiaries must return the money.

CMS has already sent a letter to those affected explaining the error and repayment options. Several hundred Asuris members on Part D plans were affected.

Although this error did not involve Asuris, we want to help our affected members understand what they need to do to repay CMS. When you talk with your Medicare clients, please ask if they are affected, and whether they have any questions about this situation.
