No letter from Medicare verifies your enrollment and benefits. But you can get a verification letter from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that summarizes your SSA benefits.
If you’re eligible for Medicare, this letter includes information about your eligibility and benefits under Original Medicare (Part A and Part B).
You can get a copy of your verification letter by logging into your account on SSA.gov. If you don’t have an account, you can create one first. From there, you can save or print your verification letter.
Alternatively, you can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778) and request a copy by mail. The organization should mail the letter to the address on file within 10 days. It’s a good idea to double-check that the SSA has the correct address.
Call the same number if any information in your verification letter is incorrect. The SSA can direct you through the process of making corrections.
You can enroll in Medicare at 65 years old or earlier if you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or live with either end stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
After enrolling, you should receive a welcome package with your benefits and Medicare card information. If you’re eligible based on disability, Medicare can automatically enroll you and give you the same materials.
You can verify your benefits anytime by logging into your account on Medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-633-4227 (TTY: 1-877-486-2048).
You may get other kinds of mailings from Medicare once you enroll. Some can also serve as ways to verify your Medicare benefits. These include:
What is a Medicare verification form?
No “Medicare verification form” exists. However, this term may refer to the Request for Employment Information form (CMS-L564).
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) may ask you to fill out this form if enrolling in Medicare Part B while employed to verify your employment and alternative health insurance coverage.
