Social Security
Manager Advises
On Medicare Bills
Older people In the Morrow
County area who have paid
doctor bills but have not yet
claimed their medicare doctor
bill Insurance payments are In
vited to have their claim check
ed by the La Grande social sec
urity office before mailing them
to the medicare carrier, accord
ing to Vernon A. Welo, district
manager.
"In the first six months of
the medicare program some
doctor bill payments were de
laved because the applicants
did not include all the neces
sary Information with their
claims," he said.
Welo believes that most peo
ple will need this help only
the first time they make a
medicare Insurance claim.
The Medicare Handbook.
wnicti is given to all benefic
iaries, explains how to make
the claim," he said, "und the
form is relatively simple, but
most people can use some ad
vice the first time they apply.
We're glnd to offer assistance,
and we believe we can hell
many people to avoid some de
lav In their payment."
Welo noted that the medicare
claim mnv be made either by
the patient or by the doctor, if
he accepts assignment of the
Insurance. Under the payment
to the patient method, the doc
tor bills the patient, the patient
pays the bill and then
the patient sends the complet
ed request for payment form to
the medicare carrier. A state
ment from the doctor showing
the treatment given and the
charges already paid by the pa
tient must be furnished either
on the request for payment
form or in a separate itemized
receipted bill. All forms must
show the medicare identifica
tion number of the patient. In
Oregon, medicare doctor bill In
surance is handled by Aetna
Life Insurance Co., in Portland.
'The social security office
does not make the decision or
pay the claim," Welo said.
"The law requires that the pay
ments lie handled through the
selected medicare carriers. But
we can answer general ques
tions about medicare and help
people In the Heppner area get
their applications ready for re
view by the carrier."
"If an older person cannot vis
it the social security office in
person, he can contact the Mor
row County representative nt
the Heppner City Hall on the
second Thursday of each month,
from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. The
La Grande social security office
is located at 1802 4th St. The
phone number is 963-4131. Of
fice hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., except Friday when the
office Is open until 7:30 p.m.

ELECTRICITY Working for Others
Better known to their friends as "Howard and Jo," the
Pettyjohns operate Pettyjohn's Farm and Builders Supply just
south of town.
For the past several months Howard and Jo have been
busying themselves getting their new building ready to move
into. Doing most of the work themselves, it has been a slow
process getting everything together.
AVhen the new building is completed and open for business,
one must visit the place to appreciate the convenience of the
modern facility which includes electric heat in the main display
area. Baseboard heaters should do the trick, but "Cold Foot
Jo" insisted that she get a small wall heater in the office area
"just in case." So as the above picture shows, she installed it
herself.
Lumber is not a new thing for Howard, he spent 18 years
as a trimmerman and lumber grader at Kinzua's mill here in
Heppner. Shown above preparing to trim a 1x8 to the customers
specific size requirements, he remarks to the photographer how
much time he saves every day witK his electric power tools as
compared with the old hand tools that many people still fight
and put up with. He went on to tell about the special lighting
display that they expect to have in by the time Grand Opening
rolls around.
The Pettyjohn's have come a long way in the three years
they have been in business for themselves. Their secret: Long
hours, hard work, and lots of electricity working for them. . .
