krajnji mogući utrošivi iznos za lečenje


Explanation:
krajnji mogući utrošivi iznos za lečenje - because "... medical bills that are as high or higher than your spenddown amount" means one obtained medical aid on his/hers limit spendable for the category. And since " Some people have too much income to qualify for Medicaid. This amount is called excess income. Some of these people may qualify for Medicaid if they spend the excess income on medical bills or incur bills equal to the excess income. This is called a spenddown."
