14—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C„ Decemb«r 12, 1968 Review Your Medicare J. C. Bagwell, social security district manager in Greenwood, urges everyone signed up for the doctor bill insurance part of Medicare (this is part of Medi care that has a cost of $4 a month premium), to spend some time between now and the end of the year in reviewing whether the program owes them some money. He said this is most import ant for those older people who incurred expenses for covered medical services between Octo ber 1, 1966 and September 30, 1967. If a claim isn’t made for reimbursement of these expenses by December 31, 1968, it will not be possible for Medicare to pay. Bagwell pointed out that, in the past, some Medicare bene ficiaries postponed making a claim because they thought that if the doctor declined to take an assignment, the patient had to Expenses submit a receipted bill with his application. Since they were un able to show they had paid the doc tor or the medical supplier, they failed to file a claim, he added. “These people are in danger of shortchanging themselves,”Bag- well said. “The 1967amendments to the Medicare law eliminated the requirement that a bill be paid before a Medicare claim could be filed. Starting in 1968, an itemized bill showing the ser vices or medical goods received and the charges for these, even if unpaid, became sufficient.” He reminded those older per sons in the Clinton area who have signed up for voluntary medical insurance (Part B of Medicare) that Medicare pays for 80 per cent of the reasonable charges of the covered services and medi cal goods, less an annual $50 deductible that the patient must pay.

Those who still haven’t applied for reimbursement for medical services and goods re ceived between October 1, 1966 and September 30, 1967 are urged to apply before January 1, 1969. Beginning with that date, it may be too late. Anyone wishing assistance with a Medicare claim for doctor bills or claims should bring evidence of the services received, either in the form of an itemized bill from the doctor or the supplier of medical goods, or the same information on the ‘Request for Medicare Payment’ form sup plied by the Social Security Ad ministration.
