new medicare cards are coming! march fun facts · stephanie has been on the walk committee for 15+...

Medicare is mailing new Medicare cards to all people with

Medicare starting in April 2018.

10 things to know about your new Medicare card:

1. Your new card will have a new Medicare Number that’s unique to

you, instead of your Social Security Number. This will help protect

your identity.

2. Your Medicare coverage and benefits will stay the same.

3. Your new card will automatically come to you. You don't need to do

anything to get your new card

4. Mailing takes time. Your card may arrive at a different time than

your friend’s or neighbor’s.

5. Your new card is paper, which is easier for many providers to use

and copy.

6. Once you get your new Medicare card, destroy your old Medicare

card.

7. If you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO), your

Medicare Advantage ID card is your main card for Medicare– you

should still keep and use it whenever you need care.

8. Doctors, other health care providers and facilities know it’s coming

and will ask you for your new card when you need care.

9. Only give your new Medicare Number to doctors, pharmacists, other

health care providers, your

insurers, or people you trust

to work with Medicare on

your behalf.

10. If you forget your new card,

you ,your doctor or other

health care provider may be

able to look up your Medicare

Number online.

Administration Spotlight on Safety: Surveillance

Here at Holy Redeemer, the safety and well being of our residents and visitors is a top priority. The Security & Safety Department util-

izes security cameras throughout our facilities to help us keep every-one safe. Our cameras are used to monitor our public spaces so that, while our residents’ privacy is still respected, we know who is coming in and out of our buildings. In our less traveled areas, the

cameras help to ensure that is someone finds themselves in need of assistance, Security can send them help. Each facility has their

cameras monitored on site and, in some cases, they are also monitored at a remote site in the health system. Security cameras are just one way of the many ways we

can help to maintain a safe and happy environment for the many wonderful residents who call Holy Redeemer their home.
