Medicare program; supplementary medical insurance premium surcharge agreements. Final rule

This final rule implements legislation contained in section 1839(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act). That statute authorizes a Medicare premium payment arrangement whereby State and local government agencies can enter into an agreement with the Secretary to make periodic lump sum payments for the Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) late enrollment premium surcharge amounts due for a designated group of eligible enrollees. Under this rule, we define and set out the basic rules for the new SMI premium surcharge billing agreement. In order to give States additional time for implementation of the provisions of this final rule, we are delaying the rule's effective date to six months from the date of its publication in the Federal Register.
