NOTICE: When your Medicare Part A hospital benefits are exhausted, the

would have paid for up to an additional 365 days as provided in the policy's "Core
Benefits." During this time the hospital is prohibited from billing you
for the balance based on any difference between its billed charges and the
amount Medicare would have paid.
