Revision of Marketing Rules for
Endorsed Drug Card Sponsors
Centers for Medicare &

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This final rule will revise the
current limitations prohibiting an
endorsed drug card sponsor from
marketing its Part D plans to its drug
card enrollees. This revised rule will
give the current drug card sponsors the
ability to market to their enrollees Part
D plans that are either offered by the
same endorsed drug card sponsor or an
affiliated organization of the same
endorsed drug card sponsor. We are
making these changes after considering
the public comments received regarding
the need to ensure a smooth transition
from the drug card to the Medicare
Prescription Drug Benefit.
DATES: Effective Date: These regulations
are effective on October 1, 2005.

I. Background
The Medicare drug discount card
program was established by section 101,
subpart 4, of the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization
Act of 2003 and is codified in section
1860D–31 of the Social Security Act (the
‘‘Act’’). On December 15, 2003, in
accordance with section 105(c)(1)(C) of
the Act, we published the interim final
rule with comment period (hereafter
referred to as ‘‘interim final rule’’) for
the Medicare drug discount card
program on December 15, 2003 (68 FR
69840).
The interim final rule at § 403.813(a)
addresses marketing limitations
applicable to endorsed discount card
sponsors in accordance with section
1860D–31(h)(7)(B) of the Act. Under
these marketing limitations, an
endorsed sponsor may only market
those products and services offered
under its endorsed program that are
inside the scope of endorsement and
permitted under the HIPAA Privacy
Rule.
After considering the public
comments on these issues we agree with
the commenters that this policy does
not comply with the intent of the
Medicare Modernization Act which
directs the Secretary to facilitate
efficient enrollment into Part D plans.
This final rule allows an endorsed card
sponsor to market information to its
Medicare drug card enrollees
concerning its Part D plans offered by
the endorsed card sponsor or an
affiliated organization. This change will
increase Medicare beneficiaries’
awareness and knowledge of Part D
plans, thereby facilitating a smooth
transition from the Medicare
Prescription Drug Discount Card
Program to the Medicare Prescription
Drug Benefit.
Requirements for Issuance of
Regulations
Section 902 of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA)
amended section 1871(a) of the Act and
requires, in part, that the Secretary, in
consultation with the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget
establish and publish timelines for the
publication of Medicare final
regulations based on the previous
