Americans, did you recently receive a letter regarding a new Medicare Card that will no longer have your Social Security Number anywhere on the card? You will need a Medicare Card if you are hospitalized in America. This letter has caused confusion since Social Security works mostly with domestic Americans.
Reaching out to the US Embassy Jerusalem, I was told you can request a replacement or new Medicare Card. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as follows:
•Use a subject line of: Medicare Card
And provide:
•Name and Surname (family name)
•Mailing address and Phone Number
•The last 4 digits of your Social Security Number (SSN)
Please allow 6-8 weeks for your card to arrive.
