CMS Mailing New Medicare Cards to Wave 4 States

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services started mailing new Medicare cards to people with Medicare who live in Wave 4 states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. CMS will continue to mail new cards to people who live in Wave 3 states, as well as nationwide to people who are new to Medicare.

CMS finished mailing cards to people with Medicare who live in Wave 1 and Wave 2 states and territories (Alaska, American Samoa, California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Guam, Hawaii, Maryland, Northern Mariana Islands, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Virginia, and West Virginia). If someone with Medicare says they did not get a card, print and give them the “Still Waiting for Your New Card?” handout (in English or Spanish) or instruct them to:

  • Sign into MyMedicare.gov to see if we mailed their card. If so, they can print an official card. They need to create an account if they do not already have one
  • Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). There might be something that needs to be corrected, such as updating their mailing address.
