NAME:        	NCH Beneficiary Part A Coinsurance 
		Liability Amount
 
 
 DESCRIPTION:	The amount of money for which the intermediary 
		has determined that the beneficiary is liable 
		for Part A coinsurance on the institutional claim.

		Under Part A, beneficiaries pay coinsurance starting 
		with the 61st day of an inpatient hospital stay (one 
		daily amount for days 61-90, and a higher daily amount 
		for any days after that, which count towards a 
		beneficiary’s 60 lifetime reserve days) or the 21st 
		day of a skilled nursing facility (SNF) stay (a daily 
		amount for days 21-100, after which SNF coverage ends).  
		This variable is null/missing for home health and 
		hospice claims.
