If a nursing home provider enrolls a resident in a Medicare Part D plan, must the resident and his/her designated representative be notified of the enrollment?
Yes. The plan in which the resident is enrolled, the date of enrollment, and other relevant information should be communicated to the resident and his/her designated representative upon enrollment. In addition, the resident and his/her designated representative should be notified that the resident has the right to change plans, within the rules established in the program. Nursing home residents may change plans monthly.
