CMS Pub. 100-24, ch. 5, § 5.3
Crediting of State Payments for Medicare Part A and Part B Premiums
CMS applies Medicare premium payments to the most current unpaid Medicare premium
liability.
CMS may collect past due premiums through offset against the state’s Medicaid Grant Award
during the following update month. For example: for the June billing month, the Medicare
premium payment due date is June 1st, with the grace period through June 25th. If, after June
25th, a balance remains unpaid, CMS considers the unpaid balance as past due and collects it
through offset within the update month of July. CMS will credit the collection to the
corresponding billing month of September and the collection will be on the September SAS.
