MyMedicare Benefits WHY WAIT FOR YOUR QUARTERLY NOTICE?

Being on top of your specific benefits and services is a must because having your medical information ready and on standby when you need it most alleviates the stress and urgency to find it quickly. So, after you have enrolled in Medicare and received your unique ID number, you should prioritize creating a MyMedicare account. This free, 24-hour secure online service keeps your information private and accessible only to you. Instead of waiting three months for your quarterly notice, a MyMedicare account allows you to check your claims more quickly and efficiently. You never know when you might need to see a doctor while you’re out of town. With a MyMedicare account, you can access that personal information with a simple tap of your finger. This account can make it easy for you to perform tasks such as:

• Accessing previous vaccination, health screening, or other preventive services • Updating your emergency contact information Medicare is made up of multiple parts, so it’s often confusing to learn about and navigate. But your online account can help you distinguish any uncertainties about your insurance plan. Whether it be Part A, Part B, Part D, or a Medicare Advantage plan, you can use MyMedicare to understand the type of coverage you have. In addition, a MyMedicare account allows you to check any new medical claims. You are able to see what Medicare has approved and what they have paid for each bill. It also includes how each

claim can impact your deductible and whether or not you have reached it for the calendar year.
