The Enrollee’s Right to Safe and Effective Pharmacy Services: State and federal laws establish standards to assure safe and effective pharmacy services, and to guarantee Enrollees’ right to know what drugs are covered and the coverage limitations. Enrollees who would like more information about the drug coverage policies, or have a question or concern about their pharmacy benefit, may contact KFHPWA at 206-630-0107 or toll-free 1-866-648-1928 or by accessing the KFHPWA website at www.kp.org/wa/formulary. Enrollees who would like to know more about their rights under the law, or think any services received while enrolled may not conform to the terms of the EOC, may contact the Washington State Office of Insurance Commissioner at toll-free 1-800-562-6900. Enrollees who have a concern about the pharmacists or pharmacies serving them may call the Washington State Department of Health at toll-free 1-800-525-0127. Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare: This benefit, for purposes of Creditable Coverage, is actuarially equal to or greater than the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. Enrollees who are also eligible for Medicare Part D can remain covered and will not be subject to Medicare-imposed late enrollment penalties should they decide to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan at a later date; however, the Enrollee could be subject to payment of higher Part D premiums if the Enrollee subsequently has a break in creditable coverage of 63 continuous days or longer before enrolling in a Part D plan. An Enrollee who discontinues coverage must meet eligibility requirements in order to re- enroll.
