Medicare Card Changes Coming Soon

By April of 2019, all Medicare cards will be replaced, and they will no longer list your Social Security number as your identifier. This change will help protect your medical and financial information. It will also be a time to be very diligent and watch out for scammers.
Below is some helpful information regarding this change:
  • New Medicare cards will be mailed out beginning April 2018. This transition is expected to take until May 2019.
  • Your Medicare benefits WILL NOT CHANGE.
  • You will be able to begin using the new Medicare card as soon as it is received.
  • The new Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) format will be clearly different than the current Health Insurance Claim Numbers (HICN).
  • Spouses will have separate MBI numbers.
For more information, visit cms.gov or, if you do not have access to a computer, call 1-800-633-4227.
Stay informed and watch for red flags!
Medicare will NEVER call you to verify medical information, personal information or charge you a fee for the card. They will also NEVER threaten to cancel or change your benefits.
If this happens to you, it is a scam and you should report it to the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker at www.bbb.org/scamtracker/us.
Scammers may think this transition time will be a golden opportunity to try and steal your identity. Stay current and learn more about scams and identity theft at www.bbb.org.
