MEDICARE (PART A) - Hospital Services - Per Benefit Period
Companies must add the current fixed dollar amount authorized by Medicare where the brackets appear below. The dollar amount is updated periodically by Medicare and companies must reflect these changes to their outlines of coverage in a timely manner.
* A benefit period begins on the first day you receive service as an inpatient in a hospital and ends after you have been out of the hospital and have not received skilled care in any other facility for 60 days in a row.
[** This high deductible plan pays the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a calendar year [$_____] deductible.

This includes the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but does not include the plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible.]
