When, after issuing the Initial Notice described above, a Part D plan sponsor determines that an enrollee is NOT at risk for prescription drug abuse under 42 CFR §423.153(f) and will not limit the enrollee’s access to frequently abused drugs under its drug management program, the Part D plan sponsor must issue this notice to the enrollee.
