Participation Request Form

The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan is a voluntary payment option that works with your current drug
coverage to help you manage your out-of-pocket Medicare Part D drug costs by spreading them across the
calendar year (January-December). This payment option may help you manage your expenses, but it
doesn’t save you money or lower your drug costs.

This payment option might not be the best choice for you if you get help paying for your prescription drug costs
through programs like Extra Help from Medicare or a State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (SPAP). Call
your plan for more information.

Under the Part B Rebatable Drug Coinsurance Adjustment provision, beginning April 1, 2023, coinsurance for Part B rebatable drugs will be reduced, if the drug’s price has increased at a rate faster than the rate of inflation.

CMS will publish the adjusted beneficiary coinsurance for each Part B rebatable drug in the quarterly pricing files posted on the CMS website, as a 0-20% effective coinsurance of the Medicare-approved payment amount.

Part B rebatable drugs may be in either of the categories “Chemotherapy administration services to include chemotherapy/radiation drugs” or “Other drugs covered under Part B of original Medicare” listed in § 422.100(j)(1)(i). The list of Part B rebatable drugs as well as the effective beneficiary coinsurance for those drugs could change each quarter.
