The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is in the process of issuing new Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers and Medicare cards to help protect the identities of Medicare beneficiaries. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015 requires CMS to remove beneficiaries’ Social Security Numbers (SSNs) from Medicare cards by April 2019. CMS will be mailing new Medicare cards to current beneficiaries starting in April 2018. All beneficiaries should receive a new card by April 2019. The National Center on Law and Elder Rights (NCLER) has prepared a summary of what advocates need to know about the new Medicare cards to help beneficiaries prepare.
