Medicare will be
sending out new cards starting in April, they’re doing this to help limit
identity theft.
Medicare card numbers are based on a persons Social Security
number, so new cards will have new numbers to make them safer.
Now, there are
some basic facts every Medicare beneficiary should know about their new cards. These IDs: Are free. So, there is
no cost to beneficiaries. Minnesota cards should start coming out in June. They will be
mailed automatically. So, beneficiaries don’t need to do anything to ensure
they are issued a new card. They will be mailed to the beneficiary addresses on
file with the Social Security Administration. So, beneficiaries who need to
update that address should log into their SSA.gov accounts. They have no
bearing on beneficiaries’ coverage or benefits. So, coverage and benefits will
not change in connection with the new IDs.
When you get your new card destroy
your old one.
