Enrollment in Parts A and B for people with end-stage renal disease generally ends 3 years after they receive a successful organ transplant. Starting in 2023, you will be able to remain enrolled in Part B beyond this 3-year time period if you do not have any other health insurance coverage, for the purpose of covering your immunosuppressive drugs. The premium for this extended Part B coverage will be less than the standard Part B premium (which is set at $148.50 in 2021). Additionally, under this extended Part B coverage, your Part B premium will not be subject to income-related monthly adjustments if you make above a certain amount nor will you be required to pay late enrollment penalties.
