This final rule changes the
weighting methodology used to
calculate the low-income benchmark
premium amount (benchmark) for 2009
and thereafter. Under this final rule, the
benchmark weighting methodology is
adjusted so that the relative weights of
the Medicare Advantage Prescription
Drug (MA–PD) plan premiums and
Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) plan
premiums in the low-income
benchmark premium amount reflect the distribution of enrollment of
beneficiaries eligible for the low-income
subsidy in each plan.
