Wanted to pass along two new Federal resources you may find helpful in your work:

 

  1. The US Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) makes available fact sheets highlight health care cost savings achieved under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. Enrollee savings on Medicare Part D out-of-pocket costs, insulin, vaccines, and Marketplace premiums are presented. Gains in health coverage also are highlighted along with the latest enrollment data for Medicare, Medicaid and Marketplace. Find these at: https://www.aspe.hhs.gov/reports/state-fact-sheets-impacts-ira-aca-lowering-health-care-costs

 

  1. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has created an article in advance of the Medicare Open Enrollment Period to raise awareness of the 2024 Extra Help Benefits Expansion. Beginning January 1, 2024, nearly 300,000 low-income people with Medicare currently enrolled in the Partial Extra Help program will be newly eligible for expanded benefits including no deductible, no premiums and fixed, lowered copayments for certain medications. An additional 3 million people could benefit from the Extra Help program now but aren’t currently enrolled.
