(a) Inpatient hospital services; outpatient hos-
pital diagnostic services; blood; post-hospital
extended care services
(1) The amount payable for inpatient hospital
services or inpatient critical access hospital

the charges imposed with respect to such indi-
vidual for such services, except that, if the cus-
tomary charges for such services are greater
than the charges so imposed, such customary
charges shall be considered to be the charges so
imposed. Such amount shall be further reduced
by a coinsurance amount equal to—
(A) one-fourth of the inpatient hospital de-
ductible for each day (before the 91st day) on
which such individual is furnished such serv-
ices during such spell of illness after such
services have been furnished to him for 60 days
during such spell; and
(B) one-half of the inpatient hospital deduct-
ible for each day (before the day following the
last day for which such individual is entitled
under section 1395d(a)(1) of this title to have
payment made on his behalf for inpatient hos-
pital services or inpatient critical access hos-
pital services during such spell of illness) on
which such individual is furnished such serv-
ices during such spell of illness after such
services have been furnished to him for 90 days
during such spell;
except that the reduction under this sentence
for any day shall not exceed the charges im-
posed for that day with respect to such indi-
vidual for such services (and for this purpose, if
the customary charges for such services are
greater than the charges so imposed, such cus-
tomary charges shall be considered
