Premiums will go up by less than $10 for most \u2060Medicare recipients, with many even seeing lower premiums,&#8221; CMS Administrator Dr. \u200bMehmet Oz said in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medicare Part D, which provides prescription \u200bdrug coverage to millions of beneficiaries through private insurance plans, is a key component of the federal health program for older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healthcare costs remain a concern for many older \u200bAmericans on fixed incomes. Nearly 25 million people were enrolled in standalone \u200bMedicare Part D drug plans in 2026, according to KFF, a health policy research \u200cgroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Major \u2060Medicare Part D insurers include UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N), opens new tab, Humana (HUM.N), opens new tab and CVS Health&#8217;s (CVS.N), opens new tab Aetna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wall Street Journal first reported the development earlier in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision comes as the Trump administration pursues broader changes to government health programs, including a \u200bproposal to overhaul Medicare \u200bphysician payments and \u2060increase oversight of federal healthcare spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CMS also released preliminary information on 2027 Medicare drug-plan bids. The national average monthly \u200bbid amount, a measure used to calculate government subsidies \u200bfor plans, \u2060will be $296.05 in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency said the national base beneficiary premium for Medicare Part D will be $41.33 next year. Annual increases in that premium remain capped \u2060at \u200b6% through 2029 under provisions of the \u200bInflation Reduction Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CMS said it will release final 2027 Medicare Advantage and Part D premiums and \u200bplan details in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration will end a subsidy program, meant to keep premiums stable for Medicare prescription \u200bdrug plans, after 2026, the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services \u200csaid on Tuesday.
