Title: Safe Harbor for Waiver of Beneficiary Co-Insurance and Deductible Amounts for a Medicare SELECT Policy 
Abstract: This final rule would expand the existing safe harbor for certain waivers of beneficiary co-insurance and deductible amounts to benefit the policyholders of Medicare SELECT supplemental insurance. Specifically, the amended safe harbor would protect waivers of co-insurance and deductible amounts under part A or part B of the Medicare program owed by beneficiaries covered by a Medicare SELECT policy issued in accordance with section 1882(t)(1) of the Social Security Act, if the waiver is in accordance with a price reduction agreement covering such policyholders between the Medicare SELECT issuer and the provider or supplier offering the waiver. We plan to solicit additional public input before taking Final action.
