Title: ●Income-Related Premium Adjustment for Medicare Parts B and D 
Abstract:

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA 2018) adjusted the Medicare Part B and Part D premium subsidy thresholds for higher income beneficiaries and set our modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) ranges. We consider a beneficiary’s MAGI together with tax filing status to determine 1) the percentage of the unsubsidized Medicare Part B premium that will be paid by beneficiaries, and 2) the percentage of the cost of basic Medicare prescription drug coverage that will be paid by beneficiaries. This final rule makes our regulations consistent with the thresholds and MAGI ranges specified by BBA 2018.
