What happens if an enrollee has insurance coverage through their employer or union along with Medicare and Medicaid?
If enrollees do not participate in a Medicare prescription drug plan, they may lose all their Medicaid benefits. However, some people on Medicare and Medicaid may receive a letter from their employer or union stating that if they enroll in Medicare Part D they will lose the health care benefits provided by the union or employer. If an enrollee has received this letter, they may disenroll from the Medicare Prescription Drug program by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). They must also give a copy of this letter to their Medicaid worker in order to continue receiving Medicaid benefits.
