Your new Medicare card is on its way

If you live in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming — keep an eye on your mailbox — your new Medicare card is on its way! Mailing cards takes at least a month in each state or territory, so you might get your new Medicare card at a different time than friends or neighbors in your area. You can still use your old Medicare card until your new card arrives. Haven’t received your new card yet? It’s ok — we’re still mailing. Log in to your MyMedicare.gov account to see when your new card has hit the mail. If you don’t have a MyMedicare.gov account, you can sign up in just a few easy clicks.    Your new Medicare card has a new look and a new unique Medicare Number, instead of a Social Security Number, to better protect your personal identity. Your Medicare coverage and benefits will stay exactly the same. Note: If you’ve already received your new card, that’s great! Destroy the old card and start using the new one right away. Sincerely, The Medicare Team
