If a State is the individual’s authorized representative (according to State law), then the State may auto-enroll their SPAP members into a specific discount card and obtain TA. The auto-enrollment process must allow a beneficiary the choice to opt out prior to being auto-enrolled with a sponsor. If the State is not the individual’s authorized representative, the State may assist by facilitating enrollment of its SPAP members with a card sponsor. Further information can be found on our web site at www.cms.hhs.gov/discountdrugs.
