Part B Rebatable Drug Coinsurance Adjustment
Effective April 1, 2023, certain Medicare Part B drugs may have a lower coinsurance than what is stated in a member’s benefit documents. Members may pay a lower coinsurance if the price of the drug is rising faster than the rate of inflation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) makes the determination on which Part B drugs qualify for the lower coinsurance and the coinsurance adjustment amount. CMS has the right to review and change this list of drugs up to 4 times a year. The Rebatable Drug Coinsurance Adjustment will occur through an enrollee refund if the mandatory reduction occurs after claims have been processed in 2023.
Part B Insulin Cost Sharing Cap
Starting July 1, 2023, Medicare Advantage plans must cover Part B insulin for use in insulin pumps at the copayment and coinsurance cap of $35 for a one-month supply of insulin.

If you get extra help from Medicare to help pay for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, your monthly plan premium will be lower than what it would be if you did not get extra help from Medicare. The amount of extra help you get will determine your total monthly plan premium as a member of our Plan. Low income subsidy premium table.
For certain prescription drugs, we have additional requirements for coverage or limits on our coverage. These requirements and limits ensure that our members use these drugs in the most effective way and also help us control drug plan costs. More information regarding our drug management programs.
CMS has created a best available evidence (BAE) policy, which requires sponsors whose plans cover Part D prescription drugs to provide access to those drugs at the correct low-income subsidy (LIS) cost-sharing level when presented with evidence of a beneficiary’s LIS eligibility, even if the sponsor’s system and CMS’s system do not yet reflect that eligibility.
