California Medicare beneficiaries should receive their new Medicare card sometime between now and during the summer months. Yet, if you notice you don’t get your card at the same time as your neighbors, hang tight and not to worry. The mail takes time and you may receive your card at a slightly different time than your friends or neighbors.
Here are three ways the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has to check up on the status of your new card and when you should receive it in the mail:
- Check out the map onย Medicare.gov/NewCard.ย Keep coming back to check the status of card mailings in your state. Remember, once card mailings begin in your state, itโll take about a month to finish.
