Information about Replacing a Medicare Card


The Medicare card looks like a red, white and blue card.

What You Should Know
- Your Medicare card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days.
- It will be mailed to the address Social Security has on file for you.
- If you need proof that you have Medicare sooner than 30 days, you also can request a letter which you will receive in about 10 days.
- If you need proof immediately for your doctor or for a prescription, visit your nearest Social Security office.

If You Have Moved
- If you have moved and have not reported this to Social Security, you will need to report this change to them before we can process your request.
