THIS AND THAT
Mammograms
The Mammogram brochures for 1999 have arrived. They are informative and eye catching. Please put them up at the senior centers, health centers and other places where you feel they would be seen. Each NICA Volunteer will receive two copies in this mailing.
Your Medicare Benefits, 1999
Medicare health care coverage under Part A and Part B, including the Preventive Services is outlined in the new
1999 Medicare Benefits Manual. This is a more in-depth description of the
Medicare and You pamphlet that was sent to Medicare beneficiaries last fall. We are enclosing one copy. If you need additional copies of this manual, please call the NICA Program Office at: (402) 471-3845.
Provider Number for Medicare Part B
Did you ever have a provider call who wanted to contact Medicare Part B? Did you know they have their own line? It is for provider records, reimbursement and limiting charge questions. They can call the number below for changes in practice, provider applications, reimbursement and limiting charge questions. THIS IS NOT FOR SENIORS' USE. The number is:
(785) 291-4002.
