Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is releasing preliminary technical Medicare Part D bid information for contract year 2025 to help Part D plan sponsors finalize their Part D and Medicare Advantage (MA) offerings and prepare for Medicare Open Enrollment. Additionally, CMS is announcing a voluntary demonstration to support implementation of the redesigned Part D benefit and improve stability for people with Medicare in 2025. The preliminary average Part D premiums will be released later this summer. CMS will release the 2025 landscape in mid-to-late September, as in past years, once all offerings are finalized.

Final average MA premiums and deductibles, along with other key information, are released annually in September with the MA & Part D Landscape. ARTICLE
