Mad Medicare
I'm supposed to be covered by Medicare as of August 1st.

I got my card back in June with my Medicare number on it followed by an "A"....which means I have hospital coverage. I need the card that also has a "B" on it to show I have medical coverage.

I mailed back the info they requested for Part B coverage when my information packet arrived. To date I have not gotten my updated card. I called today to check on it as I need to make a couple of doctor appointments for August.

The nice lady I spoke with said that my forms had never been processed. She took my phone number and said she would pass it along to the local office so they could call me and try and get this straightened out. Ugh........I was on the phone forever.

It'll all get figured out. I'm not going to stress out over it. It's not the worst thing that's ever happened to me. It's just irritating but with the number of people on Medicare I guess it's a given that someone's file's gonna get messed up!

Has anyone else had trouble with Medicare when they first were approved for it?

I had no problems with Medicare however, When I was sent my back pay on my SSI they sent it to a bank I didn't even bank at and then we had to get that bank to send it back to SS...boy oh boy...

Hope they call you soon...call them until they do...I would notify your congressman...that is who moved them on with mine...take care...with me patience won't ever be a virtue I will ever possess....((((HUGS))))

I have my SSDI......I get that every month. I had no problem getting that. This is Medicare that I have had to wait 2 years to be eligible for. I have to pay them for Part B coverage. They'll take it out of my SSDI check. Part A is at no expense to me. However, it doesn't provide for doctor visits, tests and routine exams. Part B does that....and that's what I want and need. I know how slow the wheels of the government turn. I hope I'm not in for a long wait.

Just another indicator that Medicare isn't perfect, I guess...I hope it's cleared up soon, Kitty
