21. What do I need to know about the Medicare coverage of a person I am caring for? - cont'd

If the Medicare card for the person you care for is not available for you to look at, you can either call Medicare together, or the person can complete an authorization form to allow you to get Medicare information released to you. To get an authorization form, call Medicare at 1-800-Medicare (1-800-633-4227). (TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.) If the person does not currently have Medicare, find out when he or she will be eligible to enroll. (Answer continues on next page.)
