C' PAGE TWO Information Concerning Medicare By JACK TATEM District Manager When medicare first started on July 1, 1966, there were two ways for older people to get their doctor bills paid under the program. The first called for the doctor's agreeing to claim the 80 per cent pay ment direct from medicare, by filling out a very simple one-page applica tion form. The other re quired that the benefici ary first pay the bill and then apply for the medi care payment, with or without the help of the cioctor. During the first year and a half of medicare, about half of the claims for doctor bills were put ip. directly by the doctors, while the beneficiaries had to apply, after paying the bill, in about half the cases. The system worked well enough almost .$1.3 billion was paid in bene lits under it but not without hardship to those older people who could raise the money to pay the bill only by borrowing or by depriving themselves of necessities while waiting for the medicare payment to come in. Now Congress has chang ed all this to eliminate the necessity for the 'benefici ary’s paying the bill first, in cases where the doctor decides not to make the claim himself. Beginning January 1, 1968, all the beneficiary needs is an itemized bill—not an item- I Williford I funeral home e edenton, n. c. ho ar i honor to "? br >s S of Ct cl ‘" d « WU the dece« S e e (l !

Os course, the assignment to the doctor method is still the simplest method for all concerned. It requires the use of only a single sheet of paper (the “Request for Pay ments” form), with no at tachments or enclosures that might become sepa rated from the claims form and delay a payment. Also it has blanks for all of the kinds of information needed to pay a claim, thus further preventing “Write-backs" for missing data without which a claim cannot be paid. Under this method, the doctor agrees to accept a “reasonable charge determined by the carrier, as his full charge, and the basis of the 80 per cent payment made to him. The patient is re sponsible for the other 20 per cent, plus any part of the SSO annual deductable that might be remaining. But even if the doctor declines to accept an as signment, it can be to his advantage to use the “Re quest for Payment” form in lieu of his standard re ceipted bill in the case of medicare beneficiaries. Experience has shown that payments can be processed much faster when the form is used. This, in turn, will result in the beneficiary’s receiving hi s medicare check sooner, with its pro ceeds passed along that much sooner to the attend ing doctor.

That will serve as the itemized bill which the patient can send in, to claim his pay ment. As before, medi care pays $4 out of every $5, after the first SSO medical bills in a year.

The central truth in today’s lesson is that the J Holy Spirit that precious gift promised by ■ Christ to those who truly love Him, adds di ■ mension to our faith and sustains us in our ■ struggle against the dark side of our natures. Our last lesson dealt with the events that took ■ place in the upper room—the washing of the ■ Disciples’ feet by Jesus, and the banishment of J Judas Iscariot from the inner circle—and the in -2 terpretation of these events. This lesson will ■ carry us one step further, to the realization that 2 Christ and the Father are one—imbued by the 2 same Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit—God’s gift to man to serve as ■ counselor and comforter, as promised by Jesus— -2 completes the Christian understanding of the 2 Holy Trinity. 2 God sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, 2 into the world that He might serve mankind and ■ die for the sins of men, that they might be for -2 given. Jesus, in His earthly form, was removed 2 from earth out of the cruelty of men’s hearts; ■ but the loving, tender Spirit of Christ was per -2 mitted, by God’s grace, to live on in the hearts 2 and minds of men, protected from His enemies ■by its very intangibility deathless because of 5 that same intangibility—bringing strength, com -2 fort and wise counseling to all who loved Him, 2 because they listened with their hearts. Fraught as our life is by temptations, the ever ■ present threat of death, concern for the safety 2 and well-being of our loved ones, how badly we 2 need comfort and solace, some source of strength ■ upon which we can draw when we feel our own ■ strength draining away. And how fortunate we 2 are, through the medium of the Holy Spirit, to 2 have an advocate such as this. We must, however, guard ourselves against ■ the danger of dividing God up into three separ -2 ate parts; for this is not the case. Just as one 2 flawless diamond is recognized by its depths, its 2 clarity, its purity, so should God be recognized ■ as Father, Son and Spirit—one perfect whole. 2 And just as only those who have studied the 2 Morse Code can understand it, so only those who ■ have studied God’s Commandments and the 2 teachings of Christ can truly receive the Holy 2 Spirit. If we truly claim to be Christians, we cannot 2 contemplate life without the Spirit working 2 within us. It is the Spirit which is our constant 2 companion; it is the Spirit which brings order ■ and meaning into our lives, gently but firmly 2 nudging us into the paths we should travel, and 2 which are pleasing to God. It is the Spirit ■ which prompts us to do Christ’s bidding, to love Continued on Face 4 BELK - TYLER’S EDENTON’S SHOPPING CENTER w. E. SMITH GENERAL MERCHANDISE “Rocky Hock” PHONE 221-4031 EDENTON M.
