Can I lookup my Medicare number with my social security number?

However, logging into your Social Security account online will allow you to access your Medicare number through your benefit verification letter.

Can I view my Medicare account online?

Yes, you can view your Medicare account online by logging into MyMedicare.gov. Your Medicare number will be displayed prominently on your account dashboard.

Can I check my Medicare status online?

Yes, logging into MyMedicare.gov allows you to check your Medicare eligibility, enrollment status, claims, and other relevant information.

Is the BNC number the same as the Medicare number?

No, the BNC (Beneficiary Notice Code) is different from your Medicare number. The BNC is a code used on Medicare Summary Notices to identify the reason for a claim denial or other notification. Your Medicare number is your unique identifier for all Medicare-related transactions.
