AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes a section of the Medicare law about prescription drug plans (Part D). Under current law, when someone loses Part D coverage because they did not pay their plan premiums, that loss of coverage is generally not treated as involuntary. The bill would let the Secretary of Health and Human Services write rules naming circumstances in which a loss of coverage due to unpaid premiums would be treated as involuntary.
