MEDICARE COVERAGE IN A NUTSHELL

[dogsmum]

 
The phone rings and the lady of the house answers.
 
'Hello. ''Mrs. Sanders, please.'
 
'Speaking.'
 
'Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes
 
Laboratory.
 
When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the
 
lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders
 
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. Sanders 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. Sanders.
 
'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.
