On November 17, CMS rescinded and replaced its November 7 transmittal updating the Medicare deductible, coinsurance, and premium rates for 2009. The new transmittal adds information inadvertently left out in section 20.6 of the manual.

The 2009 income parameters for determining the Part B premium were not complete. All other information remains the same.

Effective date: January 1, 2009 Implementation date: January 5, 2009.
