Cost of Living Adjustments


"Unlike the social security COLA, the CPI-W plays no part in the computation of the Medicare Part B premium. The Medicare Part B premium changes each year, if necessary, so that the Part B premium is sufficient to fund approximately 25 percent of the projected cost of the Part B program."
