.WASHINGTON, DC. - The House Select Committee on Aging has agreed to a request by Congressman Bill Hughes torNJ) to hoM hearings om0ie problem of Medicare reimbursements fbr senior citiiens. Hughes had asked Committee Chairman Claude Pepper < D-Fla) lo schedule the hearings last November, warning that inadequate Medicare reimbursements were pricing many senior citizens out of the health cafe system. "UNFOttTUNATELY, many senior citizens are going without proper medilal care, because Medicare reimbursements are often much lower than their doctors’ bills, and they cannot afford .to pay the difference. I am greatly concerned that the Administration’s latest round of budget cuts„ including reductions in funding for Medicare, .pill only serve . to worsen this problem,"

Hughes said. ' In a letter to Hughes, Chairman Peppen Said * Medicare reimbursements.' wHl be examined as part of the Aging Committee's overall review of the fiscal 1983 budget requests for senior citizen programs. Although the fiscal 1983 budget has not been released by the Administration, Hughes said it reportedly will recommend major reductions in funding for the Medicare and Medicaid programs, including: charging Medicare patients up to $26 per day for the second through sixtieth day of hospital stays. Those days are now free for Medicare patients; a two percent across-the-board reduction in federal reimbursements to hospitals for the care of medicare patients, and a three percent reductions to states for the costs of optional services such as dental care and eyeglasses.
