Medicare
Hospital
Cost Up
The Medicare hospital insurance
deductible is $104 as of Jan. 1.
1976, according to W.W. Thomas,
social security district manager in
Fayetteville.
"A Medicare patient who goes
into a hospital and starts a benefit
period after December 31 will be
responsible for the first $104 of the
hospital bill." he said.
The 1975 deductible was S92.
Under the Medicare law. the
amount of the deductible is tied to
the average cost of one day's stay in
a hospital.
"The increase to $104 for 1976 is
a result of a review of hospital costs
during 1974," Thomas said. "How
ever. the present $92 deductible
remains in effect throughout any
benefit period that started in 1975
even if the period of hospitalization
goes into 197b."
Under the law. the increase in
the deductible means other in
creases starting Jan. 1 in three
other amounts Medicare patients
pay for covered care.
For a hospital stay of over 60
days, the patient will pay $26 a day
(up from $23) for covered services
furnished on the 61st through the
90th day.
For a post-hospital stay of over
20 days in a skilled nursing facility,
the patient will pay $13 a day (up
from $11.50) for the 21st through
the 100th day.
For reserve days used - after 90
days of hospital care in a benefit
period - the patient will pay $52 a
day (up from $46).
Medicare hospital insurance
helps pay for hospital stays and
certain post-hopsital care of people
65 and over, disabled people under
65 who have been entitled to social
security disability benefits for 24
consecutive months or more, and
many people who have permanent
kidney failure.
Medicare is administered by the
Social Security Administration, an
agency of the U.S.Department of
Health. Education, and Welfare.
The social security office for this
area is located at 111 Lamon
Street. Fayetteville. N.C. 28301.
Telephone number is 483-2661.
Hoping we can continue
our old friendships as
we look forward to
serving you in 1976.
