MEDICARE COVERAGE IN A NUTSHELL
The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, 'Hello?'
'Mrs Adams, please.'
'Speaking.'
'Mrs Adams, this is Dr. Jones at Saint Lukes Laboratory. When your
husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr.
Adams arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband.
Frankly, either way the results are not too good.'
'What do you mean?' Mrs. Adams asks nervously.
'Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the
other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which.'
'That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?' questioned Mrs. Adams.
'Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests
one time.'
'Well, what am I supposed to do now?'
'The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off
somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.
