This is a Medicare Card. Everyone’s Medicare Number is their Social Security Number.
Conversation with Medicare Appeal Board:
“Do you have the Social Security Number of the person who is appealing?”
“Sorry, I don’t.”
“That’s okay. Do you have their Medicare Number instead?”
I rest my case.

now that was a trip. I have to agree with one poster here. it must have took some time just to get thru. to find out it was the same as the social security number. you are right you just have to laugh. and wonder some times… smiles!!
Oh dear! The whole system! Gotta laugh 🙂
Same thing happens here in Ireland. Common sense goes out the window when it comes to dealing with so many Government Departments here. And you JUST HAVE TO LAUGH or else you might cry. 😀
You failed to mention that this conversation probably took at least a half hour, with 15 minutes of “on hold” time, two phone extension transfers, and a start up phone tree that went on forever…
