How To Get a Replacement Medicare Card
If you’ve lost your Medicare card, there’s a form on the Medicare site where you can request a new one. They do point out that:
- 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.
Here’s the link to the Medicare page. Just click start at the bottom of the page.
