Hospital Costs

The costs for hospital stays, nursing home care, or outpatient treatment are allowable expense deductions when authorized by a licensed practitioner or United States (U.S.) medically qualified source(g) . The total amount shown on the final bill reflects the amount due after all insurance payments have been received. This is considered the allowable amount.

NOTE These expenses are allowed for any participant who was in an NA budgetary unit immediately before entering a hospital or nursing home.
