Information about Replacing a Medicare Card: If your Medicare card is lost, stolen or damaged, you can ask for a new one at this website.
What is a Medicare Card?
- The Medicare card looks like the red, white and blue card shown here.
- Your Medicare card is your proof that you have Medicare health insurance.
- You can use this application only to request a Medicare card. If you need a Medicaid card, please contact your state Medicaid office.
What You Should Know
- Your Medicare card will arrive in the mail in about 30 days.
- It will be mailed to the address Social Security has on file for you.
- If you need proof that you have Medicare sooner than 30 days, you also can request a letter which you will receive in about 10 days.
- If you need proof immediately for your doctor or for a prescription, visit your nearest Social Security office.
- For security reasons, there is a 30 minute time limit to complete each page. You will be given notice when you are about to time out and can get more time to finish.
- You can read more about Social Security’s Internet policy here.
If You Have Moved

Hi,
I ordered a replacement card for my mom Mary L. Vogel over a month ago and a letter. She should have received the letter within 10 days after my request and she has not received either.
Her prior address was with my brother on Sundancer Lane in Huntington Beach California and now she lives with me at , Toledo OH 43612. Can you check on this. He did not receive either the letter or card either.
thanks for your time.
