Hi Gary, Thanks for your question and good suggestion…. I will add that information to this article. The new Medicare card should be used right away as soon as you receive it. You do not have to make a special trip to your doctors to give them the new card – just begin using it beginning with your next trip to the doctor after receiving it. You would not need to take the new Medicare card to your pharmacist/pharmacy since Medicare A & B do not cover prescription drugs. Hope that helps – let me know if you have other questions!

And if so, how long do we have to get that done?
