Mr. Vasquez is in good health and is preparing a budget in anticipation

hospitalization because of an illness. In general terms, what could you

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.
