Veterans Medicare Premium Transparency Act
Refreshed 2 h ago
Introduced 2026-07-30Topic: health careSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the yearly Medicare notice to beneficiaries, known as the Medicare & You handbook, to explain how enrollment in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care enrollment system affects Medicare Part B and Part D premiums. The explanation must state that months enrolled in the VA system count when determining a person's Part B premium, and that VA enrollment counts as creditable prescription drug coverage for Part D. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would also have to post this information on Medicare.gov and other relevant department websites. Within 180 days, the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs would have to jointly report to Congress on the updates made and estimate how many veterans who were ever enrolled in the VA system are paying an increased Part B premium.
