Summary

Medicare Appeal Rights Preservation Act of 1987 - Provides that, during the six months after enactment of this Act, any hearing conducted under provisions of the Social Security Act relating to determination of entitlement to and amount of benefits under title XVIII (Medicare) of the Act shall be conducted by administrative law judges employed by the Social Security Administration to the same extent and in the same manner as are hearings conducted under specified provisions of title II (Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) of the Act.
