How to Find a Medicare Office Near You

Reviewed and Updated by Anastasia Iliou,

While you can handle most of your healthcare online, some things are better handled in person at the Medicare office near you. Your local Medicare office may be able to help you enroll in Medicare, get a replacement Medicare card, and answer many other important questions. 

Medicare offices are located within Social Security offices. Here are the simple steps to locate a Medicare office near you.

  1. Visit the SSA website and use their field office locator tool.
  2. Click on “Locate An Office By Zip.”
  3. Enter your zip code and click “locate”

You’ll now see a list of the Medicare offices in your area. You’ll see each Medicare office’s address, phone number, office hours, and any other additional notes. Take a look at the screen shots below.

Why and How to Contact a Medicare Office

Calling MEDICARE allows you to:

  • Check your claim status
  • Find out if your medical service or product is covered
  • Ask your billing questions
  • Check your account balance for Part A or B
  • Report fraud
  • Report a lost or stolen Medicare card

Keep in mind that the Medicare office near you can’t help you with your private plan (like Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, etc.). For questions with your private plan, you can contact your insurance agent or your insurance company directly. 

Medicare Office Hours

Social Security hours will vary by location. When you use the office locator tool, you’ll be able to see their hours and their phone number. 

Medicare Phone Number

The main Medicare helpline number that you can call with billing, claims, medical records, or expenses questions is 1-800 MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)/TTY 1-877-486-2048.

Medicare Mailing Address

The main Medicare office (CMS office, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) is located in Woodlawn, Maryland. There are additional regional Medicare offices in D.C., Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Can you get Medicare Online?

Yes, you may not have to visit your local Medicare office or call Medicare at all.

As long as you feel comfortable using your computer instead, you can apply for Medicare, manage your benefits, get answers to your questions, and even request a new Medicare card all online. 

If you do want to visit your local Medicare office in person instead, it may be a good idea to call ahead and make sure that they can help you with your question or concern.

Why would you need to go to a Social Security Office?

Most things can be done online nowadays, but there are still a few non-Medicare related tasks that you may need to visit your local Social Security office for. For example, there are ten states that don’t allow you to get a replacement Social Security card online, though this may change in the future. The ten states are Alabama, Connecticut, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, and West Virginia. 

Other services you may need to handle in-person are completing benefits applications with a translator, applying for survivor benefits, and getting a Social Security number for the first time if you didn’t get one as a baby.
