H.R. 10012 — Veterans Medicare Premium Transparency Act

This section requires the annual Medicare benefits notice mailed to beneficiaries to explain how enrollment in the Department of Veterans Affairs patient enrollment system affects Part B and Part D premiums, including that such months count toward the Part B premium under section 1839(b) and qualify as creditable prescription drug coverage under section 1860D–13(b). It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to post this information on Medicare.gov and other relevant HHS websites. It also requires the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs to submit a joint report to Congress within 180 days estimating the number of veterans paying increased Part B premiums who were enrolled in the VA system.
