NAME:        	Line Beneficiary Coinsurance  Amount
 
 
 DESCRIPTION:	The beneficiary coinsurance liability amount for 
		this line item service on the non-institutional 
		claim.

		This variable is the beneficiary’s liability for 
		coinsurance for the service on the line item record.  

		Beneficiaries only face coinsurance once they have 
		satisfied Part B’s annual deductible, which applies 
		to both institutional (e.g., Hospital Outpatient) 
		and non-institutional (e.g., Carrier and DME) services.  

		For most Part B services, coinsurance equals 20 
		percent of the allowed amount.
