Date include experience for persons who exceeded the annual Medicare deductibles and for whom reimbursements were made. The SMI annual deductible increased from $60 to $75 effective January 1, 1982. For that reason, comparisons of data for periods after 1981 with data for 1981 and earlier may be misleading.

NOTE: Based on a 5-percent sample of enrollees.
