What is the Welcome to Medicare Package?

The “Welcome to Medicare” kit is distributed to individuals who automatically qualify for Medicare as they receive Social Security benefits prior to becoming eligible for Medicare.

This introductory kit is the inaugural correspondence you’ll receive from Medicare. It contains a personalized letter, an informative booklet, and your official Medicare card. The booklet details crucial choices that must be made prior to the commencement of your Medicare benefits.

Should you be enrolled in both Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) by default, you will also receive a notice reminding you of essential decisions that need to be made before your benefits begin.

When should I anticipate receiving it?
– You should expect a reminder letter from Medicare one month prior to the activation of your Medicare benefits.

– A Welcome kit that includes your Medicare card will arrive three months before your Medicare benefits are set to commence.

Make sure to examine the provided information meticulously upon receipt, as it contains significant decisions that you need to address promptly.
