The prior carrier remains liable to the extent of its accrued liability and any contractual liability for extension of benefits at the time of replacement. "Accrued liability" includes, but is not limited to, responsibility for covered inpatient expenses, subject to applicable deductibles, copayments, and limitations, incurred by a covered individual who is an inpatient on the date of replacement. The responsibility on the part of the prior carrier continues until the covered individual is discharged from the inpatient facility or contract maximums have been reached, whichever first occurs.
