Reg. at 49246 (amending 42 C.F.R. §412.106(b)(2)(1)]. See also, Id. at 49098-99 (discussing the removal of the term "covered" from §412.106(b)(2)(i), with respect to the days of a patient who was both entitled to "Medicare" and eligible for "Medicaid" (dual eligible patient), but whose Part A inpatient hospital benefits were exhausted).
