Medicare premium to rise to eight twenty monthly in July
Odessa social security district manager Erven L. Fisher Jr. says Medicare part B basic premium will increase to $8.20 per month starting July 1978, up from $7.70, with direct payers noting the rise while many Social Security recipients see the change offset by a larger cost of living increase. The basic rate stays $8.20 through June 1979, and some enrollees face higher charges if they were eligible but not enrolled for 12 months or more. Information available at the Odessa Social Security Office, 516 First National Bank Building, or by dialing 332-9423. residents in Andrews, Alpine, Marfa, Fort Stockton, Pecos, Monahans, or Kermit may reach Enterprise 84110.
