Inflation Reduction Act

Stay informed about the changes that will impact your clients and your business. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is intended to address key administrative priorities that will impact the climate, taxes, and health care. Independence Blue Cross (IBX) and our Medicare sales team are here to help and prepare you for the changes.

Medicare Meet-up

Please join us on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to learn more about the IRA, key changes made to Medicare Part D, what is the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (MP3), how the Part D $2000 max out-of-pocket is administered, and your role in this sweeping change.

Register Today!

IBX is required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to diligently send communications to beneficiaries that can benefit from the changes made by the IRA. As members become aware of the changes, they are more acceptable to the changes when it comes time for retention and new enrollee conversations.
