10 - Summary of Provision (Rev. 1, 10-01-03) A3-3106.A, HO-219.A Each beneficiary has a lifetime reserve of 60 days of inpatient hospital services to draw upon after having used 90 days of inpatient hospital services in a benefit period. Payment will be made for such additional days of hospital care after the 90 days of benefits have been exhausted unless the individual elects not to have such payment made (and thus saves the reserve days for a later time). A coinsurance amount equal to one-half of the inpatient hospital deductible applies to lifetime reserve days.
