Up to now, Charles T. Mc- Coy, Social Security District Manager, said, Medicare bas paid all but the first $40 of a Medicare beneficiary’s hos- pital bill in each spell of ill- ness. Effective January 1, he said, it will cover all but the first $44. He noted that the hospital bill for an average stay by a Medicare benefici- ary now runs about $600. The increase of $4 in the portion of the hospital bill for which a Medicare benefi- ciary is responsible results from a provision in the law requiring an annual review of the deductible. The first such review, the law provides was to be made in 1968. “The law states that if this annual review shows that hospital costs have changed significently, the hospital de- ductible must be adjusted for the following year, with any necessary adjustment made in $4 steps — to avoid small annual changes.
