Point-of-Sale Facilitated Enrollment (POS FE)

To provide seamless drug coverage for Medicare/Medicaid dual eligibles in
2007, CMS will continue to contract with WellPoint to provide the Point of
Sale Facilitated Enrollment (POS FE) service.
  • Information for State Policymakers: For more information on the point of
    sale facilitated enrollment services, CMS has developed the third document
    in the "Information for State Policymakers" series. You can find the
    document at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/States/Downloads/backgrounder_3final.pdf
  • Information for Pharmacists: Also, CMS posted a document, "POS Facilitated
    Enrollment Process in 4 Steps," for pharmacists to use at
    http://www.cms.hhs.gov/States/Downloads/pos4steps.pdf
  • Information for Beneficiaries: Finally, the document "Using Your Medicare
    Drug Coverage in 2007" is also posted at
    http://www.cms.hhs.gov/States/Downloads/2007pharmacyvisit.pdf . This fact sheet explains what beneficiaries who joined a Medicare drug plan for the first time, or have switched to a new Medicare drug plan during the 2007 open enrollment should do to make sure their first visit to the pharmacy in 2007 goes smoothly.
