Description
Medicare Part D was first implemented in 2006. Actuaries have had extensive involvement working with
health plans and others in preparing submissions to CMS for approval/acceptance. In addition, actuaries
have advised employers in determining if the employer should qualify its plan as a PDP, or whether the
employer's plan qualifies for the Retiree Drug Subsidy.
We will provide an overview of lessons learned during the first year of implementation and how things
may have changed during 2007. You'll learn more about the actuary's role in supporting the process and
will also hear how well the process has functioned and how it has been modified.
