根据医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心的数据，医疗保险B部分涵盖医疗必要和预防性服务，目前约有6290万名参与者。
Medicare Part B, which covers medically necessary and preventative services, currently has around 62.9 million enrollees, according to the Centers on Medicare and Medicaid Services.
据CMS称，大约2080万医疗保险B部分参与者将有资格获得直接付款。
About 20.8 million Medicare Part B enrollees will be eligible for the direct payments, according to CMS.
一次性90美元的付款对于这些消费者来说并不是一个重大的抵消：2026年，标准的医疗保险B部分保费为每月202.90美元，相当于该日历年约为2，434.80美元。
The one-time $90 payment isn't a significant offset for those consumers: For 2026, the standard Medicare Part B premium is $202.90 per month, which works out to about $2,434.80 for the calendar year.
根据白宫的一份情况说明，大多数符合条件的老年人将在10月初获得90美元的直接押金。这些付款与政府向奥巴马医改参与者发送的500美元退款支票分开。
Most eligible seniors will receive a $90 direct deposit payment in early October, according to a White House fact sheet. The payments are separate from the $500 refund checks the administration is sending to Obamacare enrollees.
根据CMS的一份情况表，大多数符合条件的受益人将在10月8日或前后收到直接存款。没有直接存款的符合条件的老年人将收到一张支票，寄往医疗保险档案中的邮寄地址。据CMS称，这些支票将于10月晚些时候发送。
Most eligible beneficiaries will receive a direct deposit on or around Oct. 8, according to a fact sheet from CMS. Qualifying seniors without direct deposit will receive a check at their mailing address on file with Medicare. Those checks will be sent later in October, according to CMS.
不符合资格的医疗保险B部分参与者包括从医疗补助中获得保费援助的人以及支付与收入相关的每月调整金额的人--一种额外附加费，也称为为收入超过一定金额的个人添加到每月保费中的IRMAA。不住在美国或已参加医疗保险优势的受益人也没有资格。
Medicare Part B enrollees who do not qualify include people who get premium assistance from Medicaid and those who pay Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts — an extra surcharge, also known as IRMAAs added to monthly premiums for individuals with incomes that exceed certain amounts. Beneficiaries who do not live in the U.S. or who are enrolled in Medicare Advantage are not eligible, either.
据白宫称，这90美元的付款将来自医疗保险改进基金中未使用的资金，该基金已获得国会授权的20亿美元用于改进医疗保险的收费服务计划。
The $90 payments will come from unutilized funds in the Medicare Improvement Fund, according to the White House, which has $2 billion authorized by Congress for improvements to Medicare's fee-for-service program.
为了检查90美元付款的资格，白宫建议老年人拨打医疗保险电话1-800-633-4227。从10月15日开始，受益人可致电社会保障管理局1-800-772-1213查看其付款状况。
To check eligibility for the $90 payment, the White House recommends seniors call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227. Beneficiaries may check on their payment status by calling the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213, beginning on Oct. 15.
根据医疗保险受托人6月份的一份报告，到2027年，标准的医疗保险B部分保费估计将增加到每月209.50美元。这比受益人目前支付的每月多6.60美元，或全年增加79.20美元。
In 2027, the standard Medicare Part B premium is estimated to increase to $209.50 per month, according to a June report from Medicare's trustees. That's $6.60 more per month than what beneficiaries currently pay, or a $79.20 increase for the year.
医疗保险B部分的保费通常直接从每月的社会保障福利中扣除。因此，医疗保险B部分的保费支付影响到社会保障受益人从年度生活费调整中看到的增加。
Medicare Part B premiums are typically deducted directly from monthly Social Security benefits. As a result, Medicare Part B premium payments affect the increase Social Security beneficiaries see from the annual cost-of-living adjustment.
