    CMS proposes a Medicare rule that would eliminate some generic-drug copays, require Medicare Advantage provider-directory accuracy, and limit PBM pay, starting in 2028

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed a rule, scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2026, to carry out three sections of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026. It would zero out the generic-drug copay for about 6 million low-income enrollees, make Medicare Advantage plans verify their provider directories and charge only the lower cost sharing when an enrollee relied on a wrong listing, and limit pharmacy benefit manager pay to flat service fees, mostly from 2028. Comments are due at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 15, 2026.

    CMS projects the national average Medicare Advantage premium will fall to $12.00 a month in 2027 from $14.37; Open Enrollment runs October 15 to December 7

    CMS's September 28 release projects a lower national average Medicare Advantage premium for 2027, $12.00 a month against $14.37, and the average stand-alone drug-plan premium up less than $1. Its Arizona sheet gives that state's average MA premium as $4.47 for 2026 and $2.81 for 2027. An average is not any one plan's premium. Open Enrollment runs October 15 to December 7; Medicare.gov advises reviewing the plan's Annual Notice of Change.
