a. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, enacted on August 5, 1997, specified that, effective January 1998, coverage for the majority of home health services not associated with a hospital or skilled nursing facility will be transferred from the Hospital Insurance (HI) program to the Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) program. The HI program will cover the first 100 home health agency visits following a hospital or skilled nursing facility stay of at least 3 days. From July 1981 to December 1997, home health agency services were almost exclusively provided by the HI program. For more information, refer to the 1998 HI and SMI trust fund reports.
b. The hospice care benefit was enacted in 1982. Therefore, for calendar years 1967, 1975, and 1980, hospice services were not applicable.

NOTES: Measurement of the use of services represents those persons receiving a reimbursed service under the original (or fee-for-service) Medicare plan. Amount reimbursed represents payments recorded on fee-for-service claims only and excludes nonbilling reimbursements, such as end-of-year cost settlements and premiums paid to managed care plans. Through 1997, total enrollment includes beneficiaries enrolled as of July 1 in the original (or fee-for-service) Medicare plan or in an alternative prepaid plan, such as Medicare managed care. Beginning in 1998, enrollment includes only those beneficiaries enrolled in fee-for-service. The use of the fee-for-service population allows for a more accurate computation of persons served per 1,000 enrollees and of average fee-for-service reimbursement per enrollee.

a. Period for which the claim incurred.
b. Included in total, but not shown separately, are some bills and charges for which type of service is unknown.
c. Because of provisions in the Balanced Budget Act, beginning in 1998, Part A now has a 100-visit limit, and additional home health services will be billed under Part B.
d. Where both medical and surgical charges are included on a single bill, the highest-priced service is the determining factor in classifying the bill.
e. Total for "All services" excludes "Independent laboratory services" and "All other services"; for these services, data are not available because of programmatic problems.
f. Includes physician or supplier allowed charges as determined by the carrier and amounts actually billed by providers for outpatient hospital and home health services.
g. Amount reimbursed to or on behalf of the beneficiary—generally 80 percent of the allowed charges, once the beneficiary has satisfied the deductible in the current year. Some radiology and pathology services are reimbursed at a 100 percent rate, regardless of the beneficiary's deductible status.
