ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
monthly actuarial rates for aged (age 65
and over) and disabled (under age 65)
beneficiaries enrolled in Part B of the
Medicare Supplementary Medical
Insurance (SMI) program beginning
January 1, 2011. In addition, this notice
announces the monthly premium for
aged and disabled beneficiaries as well
as the income-related monthly
adjustment amounts to be paid by
beneficiaries with modified adjusted
gross income above certain threshold
amounts. The monthly actuarial rates
for 2011 are $230.70 for aged enrollees
and $266.30 for disabled enrollees. The
standard monthly Part B premium rate
for 2011 is $115.40, which is equal to
50 percent of the monthly actuarial rate
for aged enrollees or approximately 25
percent of the expected average total
cost of Part B coverage for aged
enrollees. (The 2010 standard premium
rate was $110.50.) The Part B deductible
for 2011 is $162.00 for all Part B
beneficiaries. If a beneficiary has to pay
an income-related monthly adjustment,
they may have to pay a total monthly
premium of about 35, 50, 65, or 80
percent of the total cost of Part B
coverage.
DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Part B is the voluntary portion of the
Medicare program that pays all or part
of the costs for physicians’ services,
outpatient hospital services, certain
home health services, services furnished
by rural health clinics, ambulatory
surgical centers, comprehensive
outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and
certain other medical and health
services not covered by Medicare Part
A, Hospital Insurance. Medicare Part B
is available to individuals who are
entitled to Medicare Part A, as well as
to U.S. residents who have attained age
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65 and are citizens, and aliens who were
lawfully admitted for permanent
residence and have resided in the
United States for 5 consecutive years.
Part B requires enrollment and payment
of monthly premiums, as described in
42 CFR part 407, subpart B, and part
408, respectively. The difference
between the premiums paid by all
enrollees and total incurred costs is met
by payments from the Supplementary
Medical Insurance Fund.
The Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services (the
Secretary) is required by section 1839 of
the Social Security Act (the Act) to
announce the Part B monthly actuarial
rates for aged and disabled beneficiaries
as well as the monthly Part B premium.
The Part B annual deductible is
included because its determination is
directly linked to the aged actuarial rate.
The monthly actuarial rates for aged
and disabled enrollees are used to
determine the correct amount of general
revenue financing per beneficiary each
month. These amounts, according to
actuarial estimates, will equal,
respectively, one-half the expected
average monthly cost of Part B for each
aged enrollee (age 65 or over) and onehalf the expected average monthly cost
of Part B for each disabled enrollee
(under age 65).
The Part B deductible to be paid by
enrollees is also announced. Prior to the
Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement, and Modernization Act of
2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108–173), the Part
B deductible was set in statute. After
setting the 2005 deductible amount at
$110.00, section 629 of the MMA
(amending section 1833(b) of the Act)
requires that the Part B deductible be
indexed beginning in 2006. The
inflation factor to be used each year is
the annual percentage increase in the
Part B actuarial rate for enrollees age 65
and over. Specifically, the 2011 Part B
deductible is calculated by multiplying
the 2010 deductible by the ratio of the
2011 aged actuarial rate over the 2010
aged actuarial rate. The amount
determined under this formula is then
rounded to the nearest $1.
The monthly Part B premium rate to
be paid by aged and disabled enrollees
is also announced. (Although the costs
to the program per disabled enrollee are
different than for the aged, the statute
provides that they pay the same
premium amount.) Beginning with the
passage of section 203 of the Social
Security Amendments of 1972 (Pub. L.
92–603), the premium rate, which was
determined on a fiscal year basis, was
limited to the lesser of the actuarial rate
for aged enrollees, or the current
monthly premium rate increased by the
