Do you keep your Medicare card with you at all times, or do you leave it at home? Mine has been at home in my safe since I received it. I have a Medicare Advantage plan and according to Kaiser I only need to have that card with me for any doctor appointments.

Have you made any copies of your Medicare card in case you lose it? I was thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a copy.

I have an Advantage Plan too and keep the Medicare card at home. I made a copy of it also.
 

I've made copies of both of ours and we carry them all the time....never have really thought about not carrying it.

What would happen if you are out and about and have a accident and have to be taken to the emergency room and you don't have your card with you ?

Today I went out to buy ink for my printer and made copies of our Medicare cards. We both have the original cards in our wallets now. I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing that before they did away with having the SS# on the cards.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. :positive:
