Good Morning,
Each year, CMS prepares a memorandum on re-determination of Part D LIS eligibility for the 2018 plan year. In particular, it outlines plans' responsibilities to reach out to members who no longer automatically qualify for LIS.

 Attached is the memo that was sent to the Part D plans yesterday. We thought it might be of interest to many of you as you assist your clients.

Best,
Leslie
