Why do some people delay enrollment in a Medicare Part D plan?
If you have creditable prescription drug coverage (meaning it is as good as or better than the standard Medicare Part D drug benefit), you may decide not to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan or to enroll later. For example, if you have the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care benefits or TRICARE for Life, you have creditable prescription drug coverage. To find out more about Medicare Part D and enrollment options, see Prescription Drugs (Medicare Part D).
