New Medicare cards

Yes, Part B is 134.00$. However you can decline part B if you live outside the US or have an alternative plan from an employer. Also, if you have a US address you can sign up for a Medicare Advantage Plan which includes Parts A,B and D. And if you are careful with your research the entire pkg. will cost about $30.00 and you will get $104.00 back. Many of these plans include free gym membership and $50.00, worth of OTC items per mo. t[disclaimer: The Advantage Plans vary greatly depending on demographics]

I received a letter today from HHS about the new Medicard card.

"Medicare is required by law to take Social Security numbers off Medicare cards. Your new Medicare card now has a new number that's unique to you instead of a Social Security Number.

Our records show that you have an address outside the U.S. We aren't mailing new card to most people with Medicare who live outside of the U.S. This will help to protect your identity.

To get access to your new card and number:
- sign in to your MyMedicare.gov account to review or print an official copy of your Medicare card. You'll need to create an account on the site if you don't already have one.
- Call 1-800-Medicare when you return to the U.S. for health care services."

Thanks .. to create an account you need your Medicare number ? not SSA number ? Help...?
