This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a premium credit for 2027 for people enrolled in Medicare Part D stand-alone prescription drug plans. The credit would equal the average premium reduction that enrollees in participating plans received under the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration, based on premium rates from January 1, 2025, through the end of 2026. The Secretary would tell each plan sponsor the credit amount, sponsors would subtract the credit from enrollees' 2027 premiums (but not below zero dollars), and the Secretary would pay the subtracted amounts to the plan sponsors.
