—
Older people in the Clinton
area who have paid doctor
Mils but have not yet claimed
the^r medicare doctor bill in*
suifaice payments are invited
toJhave their claims checked
by\ the Greenwood social se
curity office before mailing
them to the medicare carrier,
according to Miss Martha F.
Pressly, District Manager.,
“In the first six months of
the medicare program some
medicare payments were de
layed because the people did
not "include all the necessary
information with their
claims,” she said.
Miss Pressly believes that
most people will need this help
only the first time they make
a medical insurance claim-
‘‘The Medicare Handbook,
which is given to all benefi
ciaries, explains how to make
the claims,” she said, “and
the form is fairly simple ,but
most people can use some help
the first time they apply.
We’re glad to offer assistance,
and we believe we can help
many people to avoid delay
in their payment.” f
Miss Pressly noted that the
medicare claim may be made
either by the patient or by the
doctor, if he accepts assign
ment of the insurance. If the
doctor applies for the medi
care payment, he bills the pa
tient only for any part of the
$50 deductible that still re
mains to be paid and for 20
percent of the bill over the $50
deductible. -•
ter whether the payment is to
go to the patient or to the
doctor. Doctors’ offices, ac
customed to filling out in
surance forms, should have
no trouble providing the few
items of information request-
. But
Under the other method of
payment the doctor bills the
patient, the patient pays the
bill, and then the patient sends
the completed request for pay
ment form to the medicare
carrier. A statement from the
doctor showing the treatment
given and the charges already
paid by the patient must be
furnished either on the re
request for payment form ) or
in a separate receipted bill.
In South Carolina, medicare
doctor bill insurance is han
dled by the S. C. Medical Care
Plan in Columbia.
The same simple one-page
request for payment form is
mailed to the carrier no mat
ed, Miss Pressly noted
handling of forms received di
rectly from medicare patients
is sometimes delayed because
some information has not been
shown. >.
If the patient leaves out his
medicare identification num
ber, for example^ it is impossi
ble to know that he is signed
up for the doctor bill insur
ance, or how much of his
deductible amount has been
paid. Some elderly people
with failing eyesight are un
able to make readable entries.
And some do not get properly
itemized receipts from their
doctors, or forget to send the
receipts with their claims. If
the request for payment form
is not complete or filled out
wrong, the medicare carrier
has to write back to thp pa
tient, causing a delay in his
payment.
“The social security office
does not make the decision or
pay the cUim,” Miss Pressly
said. “The law requires that
the payments be handled
through the selected medicare
carriers. But we can answer
general questions about medi
care and help people in the
Clinton area get their claims
ready for the carrier.”
“If an older' person cannot
visit the social security office
in person he can send the
forms by mail or* by someone
else,” she said, “but in this
case, he should be sure to give
his telephone number.”
The Greenwood social se
curity office is located at 219
Magnolia Avenue. The phone
number is 673-1711. ^
