The Manual for the State Payment of Medicare Premiums (formerly called “State Buy-in Manual”) provides information and instructions to states on federal policy, operations, and systems concerning the payment of Parts A and B premiums (or “buy-in”) for individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. CMS has changed the notes in chapter one of the manual from endnotes to footnotes and corrected numbering errors.
