Sec. 408.63  Billing procedures when monthly benefits are less than monthly premiums.

    If monthly benefits are less than monthly premiums, the following 
procedures apply:
    (a) Notice of amount due. At the beginning of SMI entitlement, and 
at the beginning of each succeeding calendar year, SSA--
    (1) Notifies the enrollee of the amount of benefits payable for the 
rest of the year and the total premiums due for those same months; and
    (2) Bills the enrollee for the difference.
    (b) Notice of amount overdue. At the beginning of each succeeding 
calendar year, SSA--
    (1) Notifies the enrollee of any amounts overdue for premiums for 
the preceding calendar year; and
    (2) Indicates that if the amount still overdue on April 30 is equal 
to or greater than the premium for 3 months, SMI coverage will terminate 
on that date.
