I recorded that you are covered by Medicare. May I please see your Medicare card to determine the type of coverage and to record the Health Insurance Claim Number?
*Enter the claim number from the card.
This number is needed to allow Medicare records of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to be easily and accurately located and identified for statistical or research purposes. We may also need to link it with other records in order to re-contact you. Except for these purposes, NCHS will not release your Health Insurance Claim Number to anyone, including any other government agency. Providing the Health Insurance Claim Number is voluntary and collected under the authority of the Public Health Service Act. Whether the number is given or not, there will be no effect on your benefits. This number will be held in strict confidence.
*Read if necessary: The Public Health Service Act is Title 42, United States Code, Section 242K.
