We are here from the Government to help you. Worthless bunch of idiots.
Today is Medicare enrollment day. I go to the web site. Enter my zip code, enter which county and click FIND PLANS. Which takes me right back to the zip code and county. And some want these f wits to be in charge of a national health care system.
The longer way is to enter my zip code,name, DoB and Medicare number. I do this and am told there's no record of my Medicare number. The bastards sent me a new card with the new Medicare number on. Bunch of worthless tax money sucking idiots.

I can't even register an account using the Medicare number the slack jawed droolers supplied. None of the web sites has a help phone number. Whoever set this crap up should be fired and all benefits and pensions stripped immediately.
Medicare # is 800-633-422
And it's 15 minutes wait time to talk to a human being. Useless plonkers.
Took 20 minutes.
Spoke with a very nice young woman who had no idea why my Medicare # wasn't being accepted. Now I get to call Medicare IT to try to find an answer. 877-607-9663
As useful as tits on a boar. Not able to help. All this crap paid for by tax payers.

In a related matter, there's this small thing:
I have no middle name; all my life, I am Jesse J.
In hundreds of forms and applications and security clearances over my lifetime, in the blanks for middle names, I have used NMI (no middle initial) or NMN (no middle name), or NONE.
So I signed up for medicare at 65 this year, and my new card comes with my new name Jesse None J.
I call Medicare, and they tell me it's Social Security's fault, and they can't help me.
I still have my original Social Security card from age 15; It is J J, with no middle name. I have never had a middle name. But now I do. I refuse to waste my time fighting city hall trying to fix it. It may come back to haunt me, and I'll jump off that bridge when I get to it.
So I ask you, what sh!t for brains govt employee sees my form, and decides I must have meant my middle name was NONE?
Sorry for your troubles Paul.

I'll try Firefox as a browser and see it that makes a difference. Was using Chrome, one of the MOST POPULAR browsers in the USA. ------ Using Firefox doesn't help either. What a crock of crap. Some think that bigger Government is better. What have they been smoking to destroy so many brain cells? ---- Now back on hold with the Medican't IT again ----- You can't make this poop up. Phone answered by a woman with a chronic stammer. I had to just hang up. ------ The f wit who eventually answered the IT phone told me to call the main number. ----- Back on hold again with an estimated wait time of 15 minutes. ----- If it was a private company it would have gone out of business. It really illustrates how inept Government has become. So far about 80 minutes of wasted time.  |

Un F'ing Believable.
I was told to use my OLD Medicare number with no dashes and that worked.
So why was there a big advertising campaign about the new cards being distributed with new numbers if the NEW number doesn't Trucking work?

same here Jess, plus I am legally a Junior, right on my birth certificate. took navy HR computers almost 20 yrs to accept that. the travel system including airlines added jr to my last name with no space. so I had a new last name. was still that way when I retired 2 yrs ago. |

Some one dropped the ball for sure, I was issued a new card and card number in January, (They removed the S.S. number from the card) Was told to destroy old card. While trying to get a flu shot last weekend, I was told there was no record of my card on the computer, I gave them my S.S. and it went through. W.T.H.  |

The left hand Not KNOW what the right hand be doin and SAD Too say-vice versa. I wuz given a middle name at birth. I reckon Mom and Dad KNEW something.  While the V A is somewhat better my I D card # IS my S S # BUT they only want the last 4 when I check in. I just filled out a card for more medicare info to be sent to me. I did NOT include my phone # nor my E-mail addy as requested. We shall see how far dat goes. And I did NOT leave the info I sent uncovered. Think postcard. RIDE SAFE. |

Jess......I have already been through the Social Security problems getting mine started. I'm 68. You really need to get all those aliases lined out as I think that if you have been paying into SS under different names that THAT is going to be a big problem for ya getting your SS ck. |

You really need to get all those aliases lined out as I think that if you have been paying into SS under different names that THAT is going to be a big problem for ya getting your SS ck. Well now my SS (retirement, from 62) and G pension (from earlier) keep on going to my established direct deposit accounts. If that stopped, I'd be raising hell. What I am not going to do (and just what I would expect of them) is to have to take my birth certificate over to my local SS office (take a number and wait all day). They can KMA. I don't have to prove who I am, I know who I am. I don't have any aliases... except the one they gave me. If I go for medical and hand over my medicare card (for which they take money out of my SS), I'll be whoever they want me to be. |
