The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that Medicare will reduce the beneficiary coinsurance amount for 34 Part B prescription drugs between $1 and $618 per average dose from Oct. 1-Dec. 31, 2023.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, Medicare beneficiaries may pay a lower coinsurance for some Part B drugs if the drug’s price increases faster than the rate of inflation. According to a CMS fact sheet, Medicare will make health care providers whole by paying the difference between the Medicare allowed amount and the adjusted beneficiary coinsurance.
