Mr. Vasquez is in good health and is preparing a budget in anticipation of his
retirement when he turns 66. He wants to understand the health care costs
he might be exposed to under Medicare if he were to require hospitalization
because of an illness. In general terms, what could you tell him about his
costs for inpatient hospital services under Original Medicare?
Under Original Medicare, there is a single deductible amount due for the first
60 days of any inpatient hospital stay, after which it converts into a per-day
coinsurance amount through day 90. After day 90, he would pay a daily
amount up to 60 days over his lifetime, after which he would be responsible
for all costs.

Medicare Supplemental Insurance would help cover his Part A deductible and
Part B coinsurance or copayments in Original Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare
as well as possibly some services that Medicare does not cover.
, Juan Perez, who is turning age 65 next month, intends to work for several
more years at Smallcap, Incorporated. Smallcap has a workforce of 15
employees and offers employer-sponsored healthcare coverage. Juan is a
naturalized citizen and has contributed to the Medicare system for over 20
years. Juan asks you if he will be entitled to Medicare and if he enrolls how
that will impact his employer- sponsored healthcare coverage. How would
you respond?
Juan is likely to be eligible for Medicare once he turns age 65 and if he
enrolls, Medicare would become the primary payor of his healthcare claims
and Smallcap does not have to continue to offer him coverage comparable to
those under age 65 under its employer-sponsored group health plan. Juan is
likely to be eligible for Medicare once he turns age 65 and if he enrolls,
Medicare would become the primary payor of his healthcare claims but
Smallcap must continue to offer him coverage under its employer-sponsored
group health plan and would become a secondary payor.

Medicare is a program for people age 65 or older and those under age 65
with certain disabilities, end-stage renal disease, and Lou Gehrig's disease so
she will be eligible for Medicare.
