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 [$_____] deductible. Benefits from high deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses are [$_____]. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. This includes the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but does not include the plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible.]
*** NOTICE: When your Medicare Part A hospital benefits are exhausted, the insurer stands in the place of Medicare and will pay whatever amount Medicare 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. (Plan F or High Deductible Plan F Continued)
MEDICARE (PART B) – Medical Services – Per Calendar Year
*Once you have been billed $[100] of Medicare-Approved amounts for covered services (which are noted with an asterisk), your Part B Deductible will have been met for the calendar year.
[**This high deductible plan pays the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a calendar year [$____] deductible. Benefits from the high deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses are [$____]. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. This includes the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but does not include the plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible].
