Watch for New Medicare Cards

People with Medicare cards will soon be getting a new card in the mail….and The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services wants you to know it’s NOT a scam.  It’s part of a rollout of a new way to identify patients.  The previous system of using social security numbers is being replaced with a new alpha-numeric system.  The new cards will be sent out over several months.  Current beneficiaries in Missouri should start getting their cards after June.
