Part A Group Payer States
States that do not include the payment of Medicare Part A premiums for QMBs in their
state buy-in agreements are known as group payer states. To become entitled to Part A,
individuals in group payer states can file for premium Part A during their Initial
Enrollment Period (IEP) or the General Enrollment Period (GEP). Part A premiums and
any applicable late enrollment penalties are paid under a group payer arrangement. Please
see the Manual for State Payment of Medicare Premiums, chapter 1, section 1.7 and 1.11
for additional information about Part A group payer states.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
