If you have to go to the hospital.....

If you are on Medicare, pay attention to this if you should have to be hospitalized:

This is going to be a trap for many people unaware of two words: “Under Observation”!

If the hospital uses these words for your admittance, you will be responsible for the hospital expenses; medicare will not cover them.

You should insist that the hospital admit you as “In-Patient”.

In review, do not let the hospital admit you with the words, "Under Observation."
Insist on "In-Patient" designation.

It might be wise to inform family members too.
