The Price Is Right 's 5000th episode aired in March, 1998 at which time the studio at CBS's Television City where the show is shot was renamed the Bob Barker Studio. Also, the set and some of the pricing game boards went through numerous minor changes due to inflation or to give it a modern look. The bloopers that have occurred on The Price is Right are among the most celebrated in television history. In early 1976, a woman called to Contestant's Row was in the ladies' room.
If you had a Medicare Advantage plan with a $6,700 maximum out-of-pocket limit, the most you would pay for that open heart surgery would be $6,700, plus the $300 you would pay in total annual premium costs. Your total costs for the year would be $7,000 (total premium costs plus the planâs maximum out-of-pocket limit).
There are three critical limitations on Medicare coverage for nursing home care: the duration of the coverage, the co-payment requirement, and the âskilled careâ requirement. Medicare Part A provides coverage for nursing home care for a maximum of 100 days per spell of illness. For days 1 through 20, it provides âfirst dollarâ coverage; for days 21 through 100, there is a co-pay requirement which changes annually. For 2012, it is $144.50 per day. In other words, if the elder is in a nursing home that costs $140.00 per day and does not incur extra charges Medicare covers, Medicare will not pay any of the cost beyond day 20. The âskilled careâ requirement is the source of much confusion.
