## Abstract

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.
