** 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.
