How do I report a death to Medicare?

If a Medicare beneficiary passes away, it is important to report the death as soon as possible. Here are the steps to report a death to Medicare:

1. Notify the appropriate parties: You should first notify the appropriate parties of the beneficiary's death, including family members, healthcare providers, and any organizations or institutions that may need to be informed.

4. Follow up with additional information: Medicare may request additional information, such as a death certificate or other documentation, to confirm the death and update their records.

5. Cancel automatic payments: If the deceased beneficiary was receiving automatic payments for their Medicare premiums or other healthcare expenses, be sure to contact the appropriate parties to cancel these payments.
