Medicare Claims Will Be Checked
By Waycross Social Security Office
Older people in the Way
cross area who have paid doc
tor bills but have not yet
claimed their medicare doctor
bill insurance payments are
invited to have their claims
checked by the Way cross So
cial Security office before
mailing them to the medicare
carrier, according to O. L.
Pope, district manager.
“In the first six .months of
the medicare program some
benefit payments were delayed
because the applicants did not
include all the necessary in
formation' with their claims,”
he said.
Pope believes that most peo
ple will need this help only
the first time they make a
medical insurance claim. “The
Medicare Handbook, which is
given to all beneficiaries, ex
plains how to .make the claims,”
he said, “and the form is re
latively simple, but most peo
ple can use some advice the
first time they apply. We’re
glad to offer assistance, and
we believe we can help many
people to avoid some delay in
their payment.”
Pope noted that the medi
care claim may be made eith
er 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
patient only for any part of
the SSO deductible that still
remains to be paid and for
20 percent of the bill over the
SSO deductible.
Under the other .method of
payment the doctor bills the
natient. the patient pays the
bill, and then the patient sends
the completed request for
payment form to the medicare
carrier. A statement from the
doctor showing the treatment
given and the charges already
paid by the patient must be
furnished either on the request
for payment form or in a se
parate receipted bill.

to be and appear before Hon.

Brantley County, Georgia, on
the 16th day of February, 1967.
at 11 o’clock in the forenoon
to make known your objec
tions, if any, your title and
interest and the value there
of, to select an assessor and
show cause, if any, why the
prayers of the petitioner
request for payment form is
mailed to the carrier no mat
ter whether the payment is
to go to the patient or to the
doctor. Doctors’ offices, accus
tomed to filling out insurance
forms, should have no difficul
ty providing the few items of
information requested, Pope
noted. But handling of forms
received directly from medi
care beneficiaries is some
times delayed because some
essential item of information 1
has been omitted.
If the beneficiary leaves out
his medicare identification
number, for example, it is
impossible to verify that he is
signed up for the doctor bill
insurance, or how much of his
deductible amount has been
paid, Some elderly people with
failing eyesicht are unable
to make ligible entries. And
some do not get adequately
itemized receipts from their
physicians, or forget to en
close the receipts with their
claims. If the request for pay
ment form is incomplete or
improperly filled out, the
medicare carrier has to write
back to the beneficiary, thus
delaying the payment.
“The Social Security office
does sot make the decision or
pay the claim,” Pope said.
“The law requires that the
payments be handled through
the selected medicare carriers.
But we can answer general
questions about medicare and
help people in the Way cross
area get their applications
ready for review by the car
rier.”
“If an older person cannot
visit the social security office
in person, he can send the
forms by mail or by someone
else,” he said, “but in this case,
he should be sure to give his
telephone number.”
The Waycross social security
office is located at 704 Jane
Street. The phone number is
283-3404.
