Governor Dolph Briscoe an-
nounced today that the final
report on Texas Immunization
Active Month shows that
several thousand Texas child-
ren were immunized from
preventable diseases as a direct
result of volunteers and health
officials working together. The
October, 1975, statewide Im-
munization Action Month
campaign was co-sponsored by
the First Lady’s Volunteer
Program, Office of the
Governor, and the Texas
Department of Health Resour-
ces.
In announcing the results.
Governor Briscoe said, “Many
concerned Texans volunteered
countless hours to make
parents aware of the need to
protect their children from

crippling diseases. We could
have never reached the
hundreds of families that are
now protected had it not been
for dedicated public health
employees and private physi-
cians. as well as interested
volunteers.
"lam gratified to see that in
the 0-1 year age group the
immunization level jumped by
30 percent and in the 1 to 4 year
group an increase of 23 percent
was recorded by public health
officials over last year's
statistics. Members of the
Texas Medical Association and
the Texas Osteopathic Medical
Association also reported an
average 28 percent increase in
the immunization level of their
patients. These figures
represent the children who are
so often disease-damaged
because of a lack of
vaccinations,” Governor Bris-
coe added.
"We. in Texas, must continue
to educate our citizens on the
importance of updated immu-
nization records, so that not
even one child is struck by a
disease that is preventable.”
Governor Briscoe concluded.
The Texas Immunization Action
Month steering committee
which planned the month-long
health emphasis project was
chaired by Mrs. Dolph Briscoe.
The committee was composed
of representatives of B'nai
B'rith Women, the Texas
Academy of Family Physicians,
Texas Classroom Teachers
Association, Texas Congress of
Parents and Teachers, Texas
Javcees, Texas March of
Dimes. Texas Medical Associa-
tion, Texas Nurses' Associa-
tion. Texas Osteopathic Medi-
cal Association, Texas Pharma-
ceutical Association, Texas
Pediatric Society, and the
Women's Auxiliary to the
Texas Medical Association.
The Texas Department of
Public Welfare and the Texas
Agriculture Extension Service
were also active in the project.
Texas Immunization Action
Month for 1976 is scheduled to
be conducted in August with
initial plans already underway.
The Department of Health.
Education, and Welfare today
published final regulations
which limit the liability of
physicians, and other providers
of services, and Medicare
beneficiaries for incorrect
Medicare payments, parti-
cularly those discovered more
than 3 years after the year in
which they were made.
The regulations, which become
effective with their publication
in today's issue of the Federal
Register, implement provisions
of the 1972 Social Security
Amendments.
The new regulations provide
that a Medicare provider,
physician, or supplier of
Medicare items who was
incorrectly paid through no
fault of his own will not be
required to refund the incorrect
payment.
Also, an incorrectly paid
provider, physician, or supplier
will be deemed to have been
without fault, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, if the
payment was determined to be
incorrect later than the third
year after the year in which it
was made.
In these situations. the
Department said, responsibility
for the incorrect payment shifts
from the provider, physician or
supplier to the beneficiary.
However, the Social Security
Administration will waive
recovery of incorrect payments
from beneficiaries who were
without fault, if recovery would
cause the beneficiary economic
hardship, would deprive him of
necessary medical care or
would be unfair for some other
The new regulations also
contain two provisions which
limit the liability of benefici-
aries where an incorrect
payment has been made, if a
payment is determined to be
incorrect later than the third
year after the year in which it
was made, there will be no
recovery from the beneficiary if
he was without fault; i.e.,
waiver will be automatic. Also a
provider, physician, or supplier
who is responsible for re-
funding such an incorrect
payment may not send a bill for
the amount involved to a
beneficiary who was without
fault. These two provisions
recognize that a Medicare
beneficiary ordinarily is not in a
position to know whether
medical services furnished him
are covered under the program,
the Department said.
The new regulations were
slightly revised to take into
account comments received
from the public as a result of
their publication as proposed
regulations in the April 18, 1974
Federal Register.

Lions Plan
For Big Game
At the last Lions Club meeting,
according to Lion and City
Manager, Dennis Woodard,
there were some pretty serious
efforts made to make the
Lions/Optimists Basketball
Game as professional an effort
as possible.
Melvin Douthitt was elected
Lions Team mascot and is
reported to be a real lion, suit
and all. Perhaps he should be
suited out with sign attached; in
case we have any big game
hunters in Wylie. Wouldn't
want to see Melvin shot!
Lions' newly appointed coac-
hes, R.C. Dodd and Roddy
Groves, are expected to
toughen up the Growlers for the
big event.
The club will be selling tickets
around the First State Bank the
next couple of weeks on Friday,
if you haven't gotten your ticket
you had best hurry, for the
game will not be televised
unless there is a total sell out
and this writer heard the ticket
printing will go on to game time
if necessary.
