New Medicare cards

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.
