The one-time, tax free $250 Part D rebate checks will be mailed approximately 45 days after your Medicare Part D plan notifies Medicare that you have reached the 2010 Coverage Gap portion of your prescription drug coverage.
You may wish to note on your calendar when you reached the Doughnut Hole and then count 45 days out.
If the 45
th day arrives and you have not received your rebate check, then you may wish to contact your Medicare Part D plan and ensure that your drug spending information was properly reported to Medicare.
