New Medicare Cards for Senior's


I wonder what will happen to those seniors who can't find their cards. Currently, I have only ONE MA carrier who will verify Medicare eligibility for me. Even so, they have gotten extremely picky by demanding to speak with the beneficiary before eligibility is given. I wonder if more companies would step it up to provide those services for us out in the field.
 
It would help alot if when this gets implemented they still allow clients/agents to look up their Medicare status on the Medicare.gov website using their S.S. number and Part A & B effective dates and then show their new Medicare number once we put in all that information. That way if we are with a client we can always double check the correct number we should use on an application.
