I The Medicare Handbook, I

sistance, and we believe we
can help many people to avoid
some delay in their payment."
Thomas 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
SSO deductible that still re
mains to ba paid and for 20
percent & the bill over the
SSO deductible.
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 payment form to the medi
care carrier. A statement from
the doctor showing the treat
ment given and the charges
already paid by the patient
must be furnished either on
the request for payment form
or in a separate reoeipted bill.

JAN.IS-11
President Irvin Aldridge of
the North Carolina Jaycees
has announced that January
15 * 21, 1967 is "JAYCEE
WEEK" and has asked all
communities to cooperate in
the observance.
He said that the purpose
of the week is to focus at
tention on young men. Jay
oees or not, and the work
they are doing and emphasize
that the state Jaycees have
done an outstanding job in
the fields of youth activities,
community development, pub
lic affairs, Americanism, and
community health and safety.
Some 9,859 N. C. Jaycees, ages
II to 35, are serving an im
portant function in solving
community problems in all
areas of North Carolina. Ald
ridge concluded that more
jroung men should be urged
to join the Jaycee movement
whit* is dedicated to the ideal
(ihat service to the communi
ty is the best way of life,
•nd that activities build civic
leadership. ,
During Jaycee Week, each
Jaycee chapter will be recog
nising the "Young Man of
IMW' in their respective com
munity. The United States
Jayoees will be recognizing
America's "Ten Outstanding
Young Men of 1966" in Jekyll
Island, Georgia, with National
Jaycae President, Bill Suttle
from Greensboro, N. C., mak
ing the presentation.
The week marks the found
ing of the Jaycees in 1915,
when Henry Giessenbier saw
the need for a young men's
civic organization and organ
ized the first chapter, accord
ing to President Aldridge. The
ibovement spread so fast that
in 1920 the United States Jay
cees were formed with 24 ci
ties represented. There are
now 250.000 Jaycees in some
(.700 communities in the Uni
ted States. National Headquar
ters is in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
' Greensboro' Bill Suttle, form
erly of Marion, N. C„ was the
second North Carolina in to be
National President
The North Carolina Jaycees
are 9,859 strong in 217 chap
ters. The State Headquarters
is located in High Point. Bill
Reynolds is their Executive
1 Vioe President. President Irvin
Aldridge resides in Yancey
