| The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would like to make you aware of recent releases that you may find of interest: Frequently Asked Questions about Medicare Part A and B "Buy-in" On March, 10th, CMS released Frequently Asked Questions about Medicare Part A and B "Buy-in" that responds to policy questions received on the Manual for State Payment of Medicare Premiums (formerly called "State Buy-in Manual"). This release continues ongoing technical assistance on the Manual for State Payment of Medicare Premiums. Released in September 2020, the manual updates information and instructions to states on federal policy, operations, and systems concerning the payment of Medicare Parts A and B premiums (or buy-in) for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Also available on the State Payment of Medicare Premiums site are various opportunities for training and technical assistance for our state and other partners including Five Key Policy Topics From the Updated Manual on State Payment of Medicare Premiums webinar. We will continue to provide additional training materials at https://www.cms.gov/medicare-medicaid-coordination/medicare-medicaid-coordination-office/state-payment-medicare-premiums.
Updated State Phased-Down Billing Guide On March 11th, CMS released the updated State Phased-Down Billing Guide. The guide updates information and instructions for states on operations concerning the phased down contribution process, and is now available online for the first time. Through the phasedown process, states make monthly payments to CMS, representing a portion of the Medicare Part D drug expenditures for dually eligible beneficiaries. The guide is available at: https://www.cms.gov/medicare-medicaid-coordination/medicare-medicaid-coordination-office/state-phased-down-billing |
