It is important to protect your Medicare card, because your Medicare card in the wrong hands can be used to submit fraudulent claims.
If you need proof right away that you have Medicare, contact your local Social Security office or call the toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213. The people there can give you proof that you can use until you get your replacement Medicare card.
If you don't need proof right away, but you need to replace your Medicare card, you can call the toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 or visit the Social Security website to request a new card. Typically, your card will be mailed within 30 days.
To get a new card you should be prepared to provide the following information: your last (exact) payment amount or the month and year you last received a payment if you have received benefits in the last 12 months; your name as it appears on your most recent Social Security card; your Social Security Number; your Date of Birth; and your phone number in case they need to contact you about your request.
