Save Time with “My Medicare”
No need to call 1-800-MEDICARE every time you have a question!
Medicare’s online service called My Medicare allows you instant access, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You just might fall in love with MyMedicare.gov if you already use online services such as online banking, like to plan for expenses, and understand information best when you see it, rather than hear it.
You might also love My Medicare if you like to be in control, and don’t want to be left wondering about the status of pending Medicare Claims.
Once you register, you will be able to use the service for as long as you are on Medicare.
