What it did to a Social Security payment
The Part B premium is withheld from the Social Security payment, so it lands in the same January as the cost-of-living adjustment and the two move against each other. A $2,000 monthly benefit in 2007 became $2,046 gross with the 2.3% adjustment — a rise of +$46. After the premium went from $93.50 to $96.40, the payment rose +$43, an effective 2.26%.

| Part B premium | $93.50 | $96.40 |
| Net payment | $1,906 | $1,949 |

No income-related table is committed for this year
The Medicare Modernization Act phased the income-related premium in across 2007 to 2009, so the tiers published for this year are a fraction of the full adjustment and cannot be validated against the statutory multipliers. Rather than publish a table that fails its own check, this site publishes none. The coverage gaps are listed in full.
