Greencastle area residents over 65 will first benefit from the hospital insurance program through social security on July 1, 1966, Paul Johns, social security district manager in Terre Haute, announced today. This is the effective date for most of the new program's provisions including benefits covering hospital inpatient services, home health services, and outpatient hospital diagnostic services. Another provision, covering post-hospital extended care, will go into effect January 1, 1967. Another new program is a supplementary medical insurance plan which primarily insures against the cost of physicians’ services That plan will be explained in a later article: this one covers only the hospital insurance benefits. The new law recently enacted by the Congress provides these benefits for all social se curity and railroad retirement beneficiaries 65 or over. In addition. it gives the same protection to those people now 65 or who will reach that age during the next few years but who are not eligible for social security or railroad retirement benefits, Johns commented. Men and women who reach 65 after 1967 and who are not elgible for social security benefits may be eligible for hospital insurance if they have performed some work under the social security law. During a transitional period, from 1967 until 1973 for men and 1971 for women, not as much work will be required for health insurance benefits as for social security cash benefits. The new law provides Insurance protection for 90 days of Inpatient hospital care in a “spell of illness.” A "deductible” of $40 for each spell of illness would be paid by the patient. The patient will also pay $10 a day after the first 60 days. Services covered will includ* most of those normally furnished by a hospital in a semiprivate room, but would not cover the services of anesthesiologists, pathologists, radiologists, or other physicians. A “spell of illness” begins on the day a person enters a hospital or extended care facility and ends when he has not been a patient in any hospital or extended care facility for 60 consecutive days The new law also provides insurance protection for up to 100 days of continued treatment after hospital discharge in a qualified skilled nursing facility. This provision will not go into effect until January. 1967. The patient will pay a deductible of $5 a day after the first 20 days of care. Also provided Is insurance protection for outpatient hospital diagnostic services as needed. A patient must pay the first $20 for diagnostic services furnished him by a single hospital during a 20-day period, and 20 per cent of the charges

above $20
