How do I find my medicare number and get a replacement for my lost medicare card?

Hi poetdove,

There are several ways to get a replacement Medicare card.  If you go
to the Social Security Administration's website area for Medicare they
list all of the ways.  These include calling the toll-free number
(1-800-772-1213), ordering online (link is below), or visiting your
local Social Security Administration office.  Your social security
number is your medicare number.

Medicare.gov: Your Medicare Card
http://www.medicare.gov/Basics/ymc.asp
This page lists the ways to replace a medicare card and has links to
other areas of information about the Medicare system.

I found this site by doing a Google search for "medicare replacement
card".

Please note that your social security number is NOT your medicare
number.  In many people, the MC number is their social followed by an
alphanumeric sufix(111-55-9999D), but the suffix is important.  Also,
in rare cases the social and medicare # have no resemblence
whatsoever.
