The government will begin a mass mailing of a Medicare handbook on June 1. The pamphlet urges readers not to delay reading it and explains that beneficiaries can choose their own physician and may have benefits paid for services in hospitals, extended care facilities, home, or doctor offices. It includes claim forms and guidance on coverage and care options.
In June the Social Security Administration will mail guides to about 17.3 million aged 65 plus for hospital and doctors’ bills coverage, and to 18 million others with hospital insurance but not the extra plan. The booklet explains spells of illness, cost shares, and how Medicare begins July 1, with extended care facilities covered later. It urges holders to obtain their health insurance card and notes medical insurance basics, deductibles, and the 80 percent coverage after a $50 deductible.
