Find Out the Status of Your New Medicare Card

You may have heard that new Medicare cards have started to be mailed out to everyone on Medicare.  Hang tight — mailing takes some time across the country, and you might get your card at a different time than friends or neighbors in your state. In the meantime, keep using your current Medicare card until your new one arrives.

You have 3 ways to find out when you should expect your new Medicare card in the mail:

• Check out the map on Medicare.gov/NewCard  – Keep coming back to check the status of card mailings in your state.  Remember, once card mailings begin in your state, it will take about a month to finish.
• Keep an eye on your email.   You will receive an email update when new Medicare cards start mailing in your state.
• Log into your MyMedicare.gov account to see if your new card has been mailed.  Don’t  have an account yet?  Sign up now at MyMedicare.gov — it’s free, secure and an easy way to access all your Medicare information in one place.
