Signing up for an online Medicare account, previously called a MyMedicare account, can help you manage your Medicare information electronically.

Not only is an online account a great resource for getting personalized information about your Medicare coverage, claims and costs, it also lets you:

processed.

1. Go to the Create an account page at Medicare.gov. Type in your Medicare number and your Part A or Part B start date, which you can find on your Medicare card.

2. Type in your last name, birth date, zip code and email address — or click the box if you don’t have an email address. Check the boxes to confirm the information is correct and that you’ll
