What is an initial determination regarding your income-related monthly adjustment amount? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1301](/cfr/20/418.1301.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2305. What is not an initial determination regarding your income-related monthly adjustment amount? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1305](/cfr/20/418.1305.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2310. When may you request that we make a new initial determination? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1310](/cfr/20/418.1310.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2315. How will we notify you and what information will we provide about our initial determination? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1315](/cfr/20/418.1315.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2320. What is the effect of an initial determination? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1320](/cfr/20/418.1320.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2322. How will a Medicare Part B income-related monthly adjustment amount determination for the effective year affect your Medicare prescription drug coverage? If we make an income-related monthly adjustment amount determination for you for the effective year under [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part (Medicare Part B Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount), we will apply that income-related monthly adjustment amount determination under this subpart to determine your Part D income-related monthly adjustment amount for the same effective year. Therefore, if you obtain Medicare prescription drug coverage in the effective year after we make an income-related monthly adjustment amount determination about your Medicare Part B, the income-related monthly adjustment amount determination we made for your Medicare Part B will also apply to your Medicare prescription drug coverage. Any change in your net benefit due will be accompanied by a letter explaining the change in your net benefit and your right to appeal the change. # §418.2325. When may you request a reconsideration? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1325](/cfr/20/418.1325.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2330. Can you request a reconsideration when you believe that the IRS information we used is incorrect? If you request a reconsideration solely because you believe that the information that the IRS gave us is incorrect, we will dismiss your request for a reconsideration and notify you to obtain proof of a correction from the IRS and request a new initial determination ([§ 418.2335](/cfr/20/418.2335.md)). Our dismissal of your request for reconsideration is not an initial determination subject to further administrative or judicial review. # §418.2332. Can you request a reconsideration when you believe that the CMS information we used is incorrect? If you request a reconsideration solely because you believe that the information that CMS gave us about your participation in a Medicare prescription drug coverage plan is incorrect, we will dismiss your request for a reconsideration and notify you that you must contact CMS to get your records corrected. Our dismissal of your request for reconsideration is not an initial determination subject to further administrative or judicial review. # §418.2335. What should you do if we base our initial determination on modified adjusted gross income information you believe to be incorrect? We will follow the rules in [§ 418.1335](/cfr/20/418.1335.md), except that any references in that section to regulations in [subpart B](/cfr/20/subpartB.md) of this part shall be treated as references to the corresponding regulation in this subpart. # §418.2340.
