Count the money gone—it is. Every time you make a credit card charge, enter the amount in your checkbook as if you had written a check for the goods or service. Circle the amount of the charged item to differentiate the charge from a purchase by check and enter “C.C.” in the check-number box to indicate a credit card charge. Deduct the amount of the charge from your bank balance. Although the money is still in your account, you have virtually set it aside for payment on your credit card bill when it arrives. At the end of the month, the circled items represent everything you charged on all credit cards. The money has already been deducted from your bank balance and is available for payment.

Think of it. No more statement shock. No more frustrated remarks like, “I couldn’t possibly have charged that much this month.” As you deduct each charge in your checkbook, you will become more aware of what you are really spending. The plastic fantastic has no mercy, but credit cards cannot control your financial life unless you allow them to.

Not all specialty boards fall under the American Board of Medical Specialties umbrella, however. An additional 105 medical specialty boards—often called self-designated specialty boards—don’t have ABMS recognition. Some medicos see this sort of growth in specialty boards as a source of great concern, and they call for one standard of competency—in particular, the one established by ABMS. But others in the medical world believe that there should be competitive specialty boards. Michael Rask, M.D., head of the National Federation for Medical Accreditation, with thirty-two member boards and approximately six hundred members, says that many of the physicians who do not achieve certification still make adequate practitioners, and that even undistinguished M.D.’s deserve their own specialty boards (American Medical News, September 15, 1989).

Some of the so-called self-designated boards say they were formed to address “microspecialties” that have not yet been recognized by the medical mainstream. And some boards are competitors of ABMS boards.
Now competition may be a good thing, but it can make life more confusing for the consumer. Just as any physician can declare a specialty—whether or not he or she has any specialized training—so can any physician start a specialty board. And there’s nothing to say that a board has to be demanding in its certification requirements. So, as always, it comes down to this: you can’t necessarily equate certification with competency. Your mission, then? Question, question, question.

There may be reasons for not using a Medicare-participating doctor:
►    You may not be able to find one in your area.
►    You may have been getting genuinely good service from your family doctor, who for whatever reason does not participate.
►    A specialist your family doctor refers you to may be the only one in town, or a good one, and may not participate.
While all are valid reasons, they do not have to apply to your situation. Remember, a doctor does not have to be “participating” to accept assignment. You can negotiate it with the doctor. And now is the time to negotiate. Medicine is a business. Doctors need customers these days, and that need will grow. And it is just good business—for both of you—to bargain, whether you are eligible for Medicare or not.
If you persuade your doctor to accept assignment in your case (the best outcome), the doctor is giving up the right to charge you more than 20 percent of the Medicare-approved price. Further, as mandated by law, he is required to handle the paperwork for Part
B    claims—whether or not he is a participating physician. An obvious advantage is that beneficiaries are relieved from cumbersome paperwork associated with Medicare filings and claims.
