Florida

Florida MedicareFlorida’s hospital system is a never-ending revolving door of admissions and discharges. For example, inpatient surgeries total 671,787 a year, with the number increasing each year. Outpatient operations are close to 1.3 million yearly. E.R. visits per year, according to the most recent figures available for 2011, show that across the state there are 8.7 million people served on an emergency basis.

Patients admitted spend an average of 4.6 days in the hospital, with total patient days per year averaging 11.8 million and total discharges 2.6 million. Proof positive why it is wise to have a good health insurance plan in place should something go wrong. Medicare and Medigap supplements are vitally important for the older population should they face a situation where they need emergency care.

The most common reasons for admission to a Florida hospital are giving birth (204,975), mental health issues (116,537), gastrointestinal issues (84,232), pulmonary diseases (65,505), heart failure (62,774), surgery involving knee and hip replacements (59,903), pneumonia (59,298), unusual or abnormal heart rhythm (46,801), chest pains (44,605), and heart catheterization procedures (36,449).

Having a Medicare policy in place assists patients with the costs of medical care for any of the top ten most common reasons for admission to a Florida hospital. Medicare also picks up other costs in other areas, which is why those purchasing Medicare/Medigap supplements need to be aware of what is and is not covered.
