New Medicare cards start arriving in April

Medicare will be sending out new Medicare card between April 2018 and April 2019. Be sure your mailing address is up to date. If not, contact Social Security at ssa.gov/myaccount or 1-800-772-1213. The cards will have a new Medicare Number that is unique to you and will no longer use your social security number.

Beware of scams. Medicare will never call and ask you to give them personal or private information to get your new card and number.
