Medicare Benefits
Payable, Regardless
Of Employment
Medicare bentefits are pay
able at 65 even if a person con
tinues to work full time and is
not collecting his social security
benefits.
"People nearing 65 whether
or not they plan to retire, should
visit the social security office
at 324 W. Market St.," Charles
H. Myers, Greensboro social
security district manager, said
today. It is important, he noted,
to apply during the 3 months
before you turn 65 to be sure
that your Medicare protection
will begin as soon as you reach
65. Otherwise, you may lose
coverage of some of your medi
cal bills.
Myers explained that Medi
care is divided into two parts.
"One part is hospital insur
ance," he said. "This is paid
from social security contribu
tions made during your work
ing lifetime. Virtually every
employed person now reaching
65 is eligible for and has paid
for hospital insurance protec
tion. And if a worker is eligi
ble, so is his wife at age 65.
This part of Medicare helps
pay for your care in a hospital
and for certain kinds of care
you may need after you leave
the hospital.
"But that is only half of the
Medicare story," *i? continued.
"The other half is the supple
mentary medical insurance that
helps pay doctors' and surgeons'
bills and a wide variety of other
medical expenses. You pay half
the cost of the medical insur
ance through a premium of $4
a month. The government pays
the other half. It is particularly
important that you apply for
your medical insurance cover
age before you reach 65 since
this is a voluntary program with
limited enrollment periods,"
said Myers.
Mr. Myers said doctor bills
were the main medical expense
covered by this insurance. How
ever, he added, medical insur
ance under Medicare covers
many other medical services
and supplies. These range from
home health care visits to am
bulance service and the rental
or purchase of durable medical
equipment.
Mr. Myers urges those who
want more information about
Medicare, and those who are
nearing 65, to visit his office.
