Menard, Judith Marie NEWS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY By RODNEY MAYEUX Opelousas S. S. Adm. insurance plans. Restricted Even those companies who Recently, several people have asked me about they received through the mail about private health insurance plans.

Some advertising I have seen suggests that it is government related or Medicare related by its use of the word Medicare' and U. S. Government" in rather bold print that is eye catching. They may also use a red, white and blue color scheme or use envelopes that look like government envelopes. The fact is that Medicare is Government Health Insurance obtained through the Social Security Administration.

Medicare has no connectio with any private health are involved in processing Medicare claims must have a department separate and apart from their normal insurance business for Medicare. Medicare records must be maintained in a confidential and restricted manner from the rest of their business. Any advertising which seems to be related to Medicare or which talks about Medicare should be viewed as what it is, a private health insurance company selling their particular health policy. Any statements made about what Medicare does or does not do should be clarified by your local Social Security office before accepting the statement as fact. This is not to say that any particular insurance is good or bad.

Many people have found it beneficial to have Medicare supplemented by other insurance. It depends on your personal needs. However, if you have any doubt at all whether you need extra health insurance, check with your local Social Security office and make sure you completely understand your Medicare coverage. You'll be glad you did.
