Medicare Announces It Has Finished Mailing New Medicare Cards!

In an email blast on 2/13/2019, Medicare.gov announced that it had finished mailing the last of the Medicare-number replacement cards to people who have been using Medicare cards using their social-security numbers. Here is the text making the announcement. This will affect what you say to your clients.

Good news: We’ve finished mailing new Medicare cards across the country! You should’ve received your new card by now.

Here’s what to do next:

• Carry and use your new Medicare card when you need care.
• Protect your Medicare Number and card, just like you would protect your credit card.
• Destroy your old Medicare card to help protect your identity.
