Sam F. Test Issues
Caution on Medicare
Billings by Doctors

A clerical error in doctors' bill-
ing procedures may be costing
- Medicare beneficiaries additional
fees, reports Sam F. Test, manag-
er of the Detroit-Northwest Social
Security Office located at 17500
Lahser Rd.
There has been a recent increase'
in the number of complaints from
elderly citizens that doctors are
billing for more than the allowed
charges for medical services. These
complaints are valid when the phy-
sician has accepted "assignment"
under Medicare.
Billing by assignment is one of
the two basic ways of submitting
medical bills to Medicare and pro-
vides that the Medicare payments
go directly to the physician. The
other method requires the patient
to F u bm it his own Medicare claim
based on an itemized bill which
describes the services rendered..
"With this method, the patient is •
responsible for the physicians' full
fee" stated Test, "but by accept-
ing assignment, the doctor agrees
to accept as full . payment the
amount the carrier (Social Secu-
rity's paying agency) allows for
the services performed."
Sometimes the carrier reduces
the amount of the doctor's actual
charge to conform with Medicare
payment principles. When this hap-
pens, through a lack of understand-
ing of the proper Medicare proce-
dures, the beneficiary may receive
a bill from the physician for the
amount of the reduction made by
the carrier.
This may he an incorrect charge,
Test states, if the physician has
accepted "assignment."
Beneficiaries may become aware
of this overcharge from the actual
doctor bill or from the Explana
lion of Medicare Benefits form re.
ceived in the mail from Social
Security.
Each case of such an overcharge
,Mould he reported to the nearest
Social Security office. This can be
done anonymously. if desired.
Social Security will arranze for
an educational contact /with the
doctor and obtain a refund for the
Medicare patient if an overpay-
ment was made. Test said. Of
course the refund is not pos.ihte
if the patient prefers to remain
nameless.
If the doctGr continues the in-
correct practice after this consult-
ation with Social Security represen-
tatives, the carrier will be advised
to discontinue honoring assignment
claims submitted by the doctor.

Love With Israeli
in Autobiography
of American Girl

"My Home Is Somewhere Far
Away" is an interesting autobio-
graphy by a very young girl.
Bonnie Trust Dahan's story, pub-
lished by Peter H. Wyden,
traces the search for identity, the
desire to fit into modern society,
the frustrations in social contacts
with youth her own age—until
Bonnie Trust meets Yacov Dahan.
It is a charming love story about
a Jewish girl in the communica-
tions field -who, upon her gradua-
:ion from college in Pittsburgh,
goes to New York, gets a job, is
confronted by men seeking dates
with aims to take advantage of
her.
Yacov enchants her. He is an
• tertainer. He sings well and
lays his guitar well. There is a
ove affair. They marry. They go
xi Israel.
Her family becomes reconciled
;o her ambitions. Her craving for
srael grows. Back in the United
States, there is a life that fits
her in amicably with the habits
if her husband.
In a sense this story is a revolt
Against the present-day rebels —

the has certainly related hi-1 - ex-
,erience in simple but impre-ssive
erns, and there is realism in the
definition of her book that her
home is "somewhere far away."

Language is but little better - than
the croak and cackle of fowls and
oilier utterances of brute nature
—sometimes not so adequate. —
Nathaniel Hawthorne.
