Appendix 5.A - Medicare Part A Premium Amount
(Rev. 4, Issued: 08-21-20, Effective: 09-08-20, Implementation: 09-08-20)
Section 1818 of the Act specifies that the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall
determine the amount of the monthly Medicare Part A premium to be paid on behalf of each
individual who is entitled to Premium-Part A. See 42 CFR § 406.32(d). Surcharges for late
enrollment do not apply to the payment of Medicare Part A premiums on behalf of QMBs in Part
A buy-in states. A ten percent surcharge for late enrollment, if applicable, applies to Medicare
Part A premiums paid on behalf of QMBs in group payer states and on behalf of QDWIs in all
states as they must use the group payer arrangement to pay QDWI premiums. For a description
of the Part A premium surcharge, see chapter 1, section 1.1.
