The card shows their name, claim number and the date that protection begins under hospital or medical insurance or both. "Most doctors have a supply of the forms which are used to claim benefits under the medical insurance part of Medicare," Mr. Pate says. "The patients arranges for the payment of the first $50 of doctor bills in a year.

Medicare pays 80 per cent of the reasonable charges of the rest of the covered medical services." Payment of doctors' bills is handled in either of two ways. The patient and his physician decide which method will be used. Payment may be made (1) directly to the doctor if he agrees to send in the claim; or (2) to the patient who pays the doctors and gets an itemized receipt of claim repayment himself. If hospitalization is necessary, the physician arranges for the ladmission of his patient. The beneficiary accepts responsibility for payment of the first $40 of hospital costs in each spell of illness, and the hospital claims payment of the remainder of the reasonable cost.
