If you’ve met with any of our advisors or have even been reading this newsletter long enough, you’ve heard us talk about how important it is to create your MyMedicare.gov account. Before we jump into why, if you haven’t yet, visit Medicare.gov, click the “Log in/Create an account” link at the top-right of the page, and then press the “Create an account” link underneath the “Log in” heading. Follow the instructions from there to create your account. Now, if you’re wondering why it’s so important to create a MyMedicare.gov account, there are four key reasons we always share. NO. 1: YOU CAN USE THE BLUE BUTTON FEATURE. The Blue Button feature is one of the most popular features on the MyMedicare.gov account and is a quick and secure way to download and share your personal health information, including your Part A, Part B, and Part D claims. You can then print these reports and bring them with you to your next medical appointment, email them to a health care provider, or input that report into any health management tool you may be using. NO. 2: YOU CAN CHECK YOUR MEDICARE STATUS. After enrolling, you can go onto your MyMedicare.gov account to view and track your coverage status. By checking your Medicare status, you can also see coverage dates, plan details, and drug costs, and print a temporary prescription drug card until yours arrives. NO. 3: YOU CAN CHECK YOUR MEDICARE CLAIMS. You no longer have to wait for your Medicare claim statuses to arrive in the mail! You can now gain instant access to your Medicare claim information and monitor their statuses as soon as they’re processed. You’ll also have the capability to search claims by claim number or type and date range. NO. 4: YOU CAN ACCESS SUMMARY NOTICES, AKA YOUR EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS. On MyMedicare.gov, you’ll also see you have access to something called your “summary notices.” Many people ignore these because they aren’t sure what they are, but they’re actually your explanation of benefits and are incredibly important. On top of these four points, you can also manage your personal health information and Medicare prescription drug coverage, and monitor your Part B deductible! By creating this free online account, you can have more freedom, flexibility, and control of your Medicare experience. INSTANT ACCESS, TOTAL CONTROL Why MyMedicare.gov Is a Must- Have for Every Medicare Beneficiary
