Lore Hospitals give Medicare The number of Southern hos pitals participating in the med icare program showed a dra matic increase during medi care’s first year. Robert P. Bynum, Regional Assistant Commissioner for Social Secur ity’s Atlanta region said today that 837 general hospitals in the seven state area of Alaba ma, Florida, Georgia, Mississ ippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee are now certified to provide serv ices under the health insurance program for the aged. This is a 24 per cent increase over the 674 hospitals participating as of July 1, 1966. The 837 hos pitals represent 945 of the total available general short term beds. The 171 hospitals that came under the program during the period July 1, 1966 thru June 30, 1967 included some that achieved participating status either by upgrading their care or by coming into compliance with Title VI of the civil rights Act. Sixty-six hospitals in South Carolina are furnishing quality medical care for about 175,000 eligible aged persons. This is about 78 per cent of the total available beds. Bynum said that there is evidence that a significant number of elderly persons have entered hospitals for surgical procedures and other medical services they otherwise might not have received. This is most likely to be true of almost half of the elderly, who, before Medicare, had no health insur ance protection. In the Greenwood area, par ticipating hospitals include Laurens District, Bailey Mem orial, Brewer, Whitten Village, Newberry Memorial, and Ab beville Memorial.
