I received a new Medicare card and am wondering if it is legit. Does anyone know if they reissue new cards after the change they made, in regards to the number change?
The new one has a new number. Thanks for taking the time read this. Joeytoo12 (talk) 05:33, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No If you lose your card or it is stolen, you can request a replacement, and you will generally receive the same Medicare number.
If there is a change in your personal information (like your name), you may receive a new card, and your number could change.
And Starting in 2018, Medicare began issuing new cards with a unique Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) instead of the Social Security number to help protect beneficiaries' identities. If you received a new card during this transition, your number changed. 182.183.31.45 (talk) 01:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
