CMS Pub. 100-02, ch. 5, § 10
Summary of Provision
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.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
