A directory listing physicians
who may accept Medicre
allowances as payment in full for
services now is available to
Pennsylvania's senior citizens,
according to Gorham L. Black,
Jr., state secretary of aging.
“The directory can assist older
Pennsylvanians make more in-
telligent health care decisions by
making them aware of physicians
in the community who have ac-
cepted Medicare fees “as full
payment for services,” Black
explained.
‘““The federal Health Care
Financing Administration has
instructed all Medicare Part B
insurance carriers to publish
directories listing the names and
addresses of physicians who have
filed more than 100 Medicare
claims and who have accepted
‘‘assignment’’--the = Medicare
payment--as full payment on at
least 10 percent and up to 100
percent of the claims,” Black said.
Pennsylvania Blue Shield has
distributed the directories
(Physician-Supplier = Assignment
Rate Listing) to all Social Security
district offices and regional claim
centers in the state. The Depart-
ment of Aging is reproducing the
list and forwarding copies, which
contain physicians’ names on a
county-by-county basis, to the 49
area agnecies on aging covering
the state’s 67 counties. Older
persons can consult the directory
at Social Security offices or by
visiting an area agency on aging
office.
Black said that “by referring to
the directory, seniors may succeed
in obtaining adequate health care
al a lower cost.” But he cautioned
seniros that ‘‘even though a
physician is listed in the directory,
it does not mean that he-she will
accept Medicare assignment for
all services.

The following is a service
provided by Josephine Kotch,
extension home economist at the
Cooperative Extension Service,
The Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity.
Dear Parent,
John will do just about anything
to avoid reading a book and his
mother says he’s always been that
way. She has given up dragging
him to the library to bring hom a
stack of books.
Some young people do not read
because they lack reading skills.
They missed out in their early
schol years and have never caught
up. Johnis the typical poor reader.
Mary, age 16, never reads
either; but her reasons for not
reading include lack of time, many
after school activities and dozens
of friends. In Mary’s case her
school actually encourages her not
to read. That's not to say her
teachers don’t encourage her,
quite on the contrary. Rather the
school has so many activities that
Mary is really short on time and
her reading suffers. Mary also has
much written homework that
fakes up what time she has
available.
Sue and Joe on the other hand do
not belong to school clubs. Because
of their families’ financial
situation both work after school.
This takes about all their free
time.
The final reason none of the
above teenagers read they share in
common. Not one of their parents
read in the home! Not one young
person can remember when a
parent was seen reading a book
and not one boy or girl has a good
attitude toward reading.
Developing a good attitude about
reading begins in the home. It’s
one positive step a parent can take

Chairman, Nancy Jones
to encourage a child to read, even
a teenager. Clearly many of the
reasons the young poeple have for
not reading can’t be changed
overnight. But each of those
teenagers, over time can begin to
develop a love for books by ob-
serving the parent. If the parent
child will like to read.
The parent who reads will have
books and magazines around the
home and the topics discussed will
be varied. It’s hard to find a
teenager whose curiosity and
interest is not aroused by a lively
discussion about some current
eventor book. Atleast the teen will
have an option! :
Don’t expect your adolescent’s
reading to increase dramatically
just because you change what yon
do or don’t do. You must keep in
mind the reasons he doesn’t read
and the number of years he has not
been reading. Regardless of the
reason and his age, he can still
develop a good attitude about
books and reading. :
