UPDATE: CMS pledges to ‘make whole’ providers impacted by Medicare Part B drug coinsurance reductions
 
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will make whole health care providers impacted by lowered coinsurance on 27 Medicare Part B prescription drugs. The reduced coinsurance rates, which are required by the Inflation Reduction Act, take effect April 1 and will remain in effect through June 30. CMS in a fact sheet says it will pay impacted health care providers the difference between the full and reduced adjusted beneficiary coinsurance (in addition to their usual payment), after applying the Part B deductible and prior to sequestration, if applicable.
