CMS defines IRASA as the difference between the beneficiary cost sharing for the covered insulin, or ACIP-recommended vaccine, under the plan’s 2023 benefit design, and the applicable statutory maximum cost sharing ($35 for insulins and $0 for vaccines). The IRASA is available only for 2023. Additional details are available from CMS.
