Both programs are related to the Medicare Advantage (MA, or that is known as Part C) and Prescription Drug Benefit (Part D) programs. This final rule implementation is estimated to result in net savings of about $76 billion for fiscal years 2011, 2012 up to 2016 to the Medicare program. ACA’s reforms to Medicare Advantage payments give the most contribution in these savings.

Some provisions may have different effective dates, but all provisions will take effect within sixty days after the final rule published.
