SENATOR » 1 SAM ERVIN *aL||^ WASHINGTON Congress returns to Capitol Hill In the mood that th ngs will be some what different this session. The attitude whch prevailed in recent sessions that broad t'Ocial programs were required for the welfare of the coun try seems tempered by the fact that the Vietnam con flict has placed restraint on domestic spending programs. S ill the catalog of legisla te issues gives notice that this mood is not likely to pro duce a dull or aliogether har monious sesson. The issues that have plagued the coun try defense, taxes, social seculity benefits, civil ri"h‘a proposals, poverty programs, and govern mental reforms rre certain to be renewed. National defense is a prime tot ir f<T attention, anl I*S r are eq .ugh to V bury f mOst 1 ’h»- «'• - h-ve i > < .«. ■ •<..! '■)- leg s l ’ r *> lofj car’* • ’ ‘ h SUV ’ ’'-"d * ii.,.

James E. Robertson, district manager, declared today. "In the first six months of the med'care program some benefit payments have been delryed because the claimers did not include all the necessary informal on with their cla ; ms,” he ex plained. Robertson sa : d that most people will probably need thia help only the first tme they file a medic.nl insurance claim. ’•The Medicare Handbook wh'ch is giver, to all benefi ciaries explains hov to m*>ke the cla : ms." he said. “Hie ‘Request for Payment’ form is relatively simple, but most people can use some t : rs and advice the first time they ap ply w e ’re ria l to offer as s'stance. and belkve we can help many* pe’ av,>jd some de’av in rcceiv'r.g payment " Hnb:l,on n,c c i *hat the medic- re C’a m mr.y be made eithr*- by the patient- or by the t„ r -f h- jf- vuts a>- "•Mfnt -<f the i iS’ir tnce l s • ' ctor n*jhes for the -c;.are payment, fce bil’s the patient only far a->y part of tho *SO de-TuctiMe that still rema-ns to be paid and fur I*o percept of the bill ever *he ?50 deductible T'ndcr the other method nf pevntent the doctor b : lls the patient, the natient pays the bill, and then the patient sends the co-n-leted request- Il'r-ra-ment Term together with itemized rwinted bills to the medicare carrier.

But handling of forms received direct, from medicare beneficiaries is sometimes de layed because some essential item of information has been omilted. “Since numbers of people have the same names, if the beneficiary leaves out his medicare identification num ber —for example we can not verify that he is signed up for the doctor bill insuran ce, or how much of his de ductible amount may have been paid.
