Since its passage in 1974, CAMA
has steadily progressed into an in
creasingly effective partnership
between state and local govern
ments. We have met many
challenges. There are still more
ahead. You have only to look at the
coastlines of Florida or New Jersey
to know what can happen in North
Carolina without wise
management.
CAMA is a success. And it is a
success we will call on even more
in the years to come.

The ninth project will be the im
plementation of a living history pro
gram at Somerset Place near
Creswell. The script for the Living
History Program will be written by
Harvey Credel, Artistic Director,
Theatrical Living History Program
from The Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation. The living history pro
gram will reveal the importance of
the black community to plantation
life in an antebellum society.
The last project will be the
development of an interpretive
farm setting at the Newbold-White
House in Hertford.
The Historic Albemarle Tour has
a good chance of getting the grant
from the National Endowment for
the Humanities as William Benners
111, Executive Secretary for the
Tour, said, “Its a good project book
for the 400th and of English
America; we feel that it has a good
chance of being accepted.”
Mr. Bonners went on to say, “A
lot of good consultants have been
tied into this project from all over
the United States most are from
here in North Carolina though.”
The Historic Albemarle Tour
must wait for now, however, for in
formation on acceptance or denial
of the grant before it can begin to
work on the projects it has planned
for the “America’s Fou r Hundredth
Anniversary”.

“If a person is on probation and

both crimes will be tried together

“It is mostly up to the judge,”

Allowable Income Is Increased
By Lee E. Wallio
Field Representative
Effective January 1, 1983,
there will be increases in the
amount a beneficiary can
earn while receiving Social
Security benefits.
Also increasing is the
amount of earnings subject to
Social Security tax and the
amount used to determine
whether a person is insured
for monthly benefits.
These changes are required
by the 1977 Social Security
amendments and are based
on an increasse in average na
tional wage levels.
The amount a beneficiary
ages 65 to 69 mat earn in 1983
Foundation is the only Na
tional agency addressing
every aspect of the kidney
problem, including research,
education, patient service and
the other donor program. Mr.
Wesley says questions concer
ning any of the Foundation’s
programs may be directed to
the State office in Chapel Hill
at (919) 929-7181.
Mrs. Hunt explained that
the Pass Kit is the method
chosen by the volunteers of
the National Kidney Founda
tion to “get out the message”
concerning kidney disease,
distribute the very important
organ donor cards and to
solicit funds to carry on these
programs. She explained the
kits would be mailed to
residents in the area and
asked that they remove the
Foundation in the envelope
provided and pass the kit to
their neighbor. Mrs. Hunt
said, “It’S not every day we
get the opportunity to ‘Give
the Gift of Life’ and I hope we
all will take advantage of it.”
without losing any Social
Security benefits will increase
to $6,600, up from $6,000 in
1982.
The amount a beneficiary
under 65 may earn in 1983 will
be $4,920, up from $4,440 jn
1982.
Also beginning in 1983,
beneficiaries age 70 or older
may earn any amount without
losing benefits, starting with
the month they turn age 70.
The maximum amount of
earnings that are taxable for
Social Security taxes will in
crease to $35,700 in 1983, up
from $32,400 in 1982.
The amount of earnings re
quired for a quarter of
coverage in 1983 will increase
to $370, up from $340 in 1982.
Medicare Changes Will Result
In Higher Costs To Recipients
Over 150,000 North Carolina
residents with Medicare sup
plemental coverage with Blue
Cross and Blue Shield of
North Carolina will see little
differences in out-of-pocket
costs when the deductible for
hospital charges is increased
January 1. The state’s largest
health insurer offers four
levels of coverage to supple
ment the health care benefits
provided by the government
program.
'Die increased deductible
requires the nation’s nearly 29
million citizens on Medicare
to pay the first $304 of any in
patient hospital stay.
Medicare patients previously
paid the first $260.
Other Medicare changes
taking effect January 1 in
volve coinsurance amounts.
After a patient pays the
deductible, Medicare requires
the patient to pay a portion of
the remaining charges. This
portion is called coinsurance.
The following changes on
coinsurance amounts will be
effective January 1.
-The coinsurance amount
for a day of inpatient hospital
services from the 61st through
the 90th day will be $76, up
from $65. The coinsurance
amount for a lifetime reserve
day will be $152, up from $l3O.
(Lifetime reserve days are
defined as the extra 60 days
Medicare hospital insurance
allows beyond the normal 90
days covered in a given
benefit period. Unlike the 90
hospital days in each benefit
period, lifetime reserve days
are not renewable.)
-The coinsurance amount
for thew 21st through the 100th
day of a skilled nursing facili
ty (SNF) stay will be S3B up
$5.50 from $32.50
Blue Cross and Blue Shield

deductible and the coin

who have Medicare sup
plemental coverage through
the prepayment plan. The
skilled nursing facility coin
surance amount is not
covered by those benefits.
BCBSNC began offering the
four levels of coverage Oc
tober 1, 1982.
A spell of illness is a period
of consecutive days that
begins with the first day on
which a patient is furnished
inpatient hospital or skilled
nursing facility services. The
spell ends with the close of a
period of 60 consecutive days
during which the patient was
neither a hospital inpatient
nor an inpatient of a skilled
nursing facility.
The year in which the pa
tient’s spell of illness begins
determines the inpatient
hospital deductible. Coin
surance amounts, however,
will be based on the period in
which the services are fur
nished. All services incurred
during calendar year 1983 in
volving coinsurance or
lifetime reserve days must be
billed at $76 and $152, respec
tively. This allows providers
the simplicity of billing all
coinsurance and lifetime
reserve days at the same rate
regardless of when the spell of
illness began.
According to this policy, it
will be necessary for the
health care providers to sub
mit a “close-out” billing
through December 31, 1982,
all Medicare beneficiaries
will be subject to the same
coinsurance amounts for ser
vices incurred in calendar
year 1983.
In addition to underwriting
Medicare supplemental
coverage Blue Cross and Blue
Shield of North Carolina also
administers Part A Medicare
basic benefits for the Social
Security Administration.
There are an estimated
670,000 people in North
Carolina who are 65 or older
and eligible for Medicare.
