## Summary

**Temporary premium credit for Medicare Part D enrollees in 2027** would reduce what beneficiaries pay for prescription drug plan premiums by creating a one-year, federal payment that offsets part of plan premiums. The credit would be calculated from CMS's Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration results using premium data from 2025 through 2026 and paid to plan sponsors while ensuring net enrollee premiums do not go below $0. - Seniors and other Medicare Part D enrollees: Would see lower net monthly premiums in 2027 equal to the average reduction from the CMS demonstration, with no negative premiums. - Part D prescription drug plan sponsors: Would charge reduced standard premiums to enrollees and receive federal payments that cover the credit amount for each enrollee. - Federal government and taxpayers: Would provide a temporary subsidy to PDP sponsors for one year tied to prior demonstration performance and historical premium data.
