To sign in, go to Medicare.gov and select Log in/create account. Existing users can use their Medicare username and password or one of the identity verification services currently listed by Medicare.gov. If you have not registered, choose the create-account option; if you cannot remember your login, use the recovery link on the sign-in page.
Sign in to Medicare.gov
- Open Medicare.gov and select Log in/create account. Confirm the address is Medicare.gov before entering personal information; CMS identifies it as the federal site it manages and pays for (CMS).
- Choose the sign-in route shown on the official page. Medicare.gov currently lists ID.me, CLEAR, and Login.gov as free identity verification services. Existing Medicare account holders can connect an account to one of these services, or use their Medicare username and password if that option is displayed. The available choices and prompts may change, so follow the live page (Medicare.gov login).
- Use an email address that is unique to your Medicare account. Medicare.gov says, “Each Medicare account needs a unique email address”; do not use an address shared with another person (Medicare.gov login).
Create an account if you have not registered
Start from the create-account link on Medicare.gov’s official sign-in page. Have your red, white, and blue Medicare card available. The form asks for your Medicare Number and Part A coverage start date; it describes the Medicare Number as 11 numbers and letters. If you do not have Part A, the form offers other options. Follow the current form rather than sharing your Medicare details anywhere outside the official site (Medicare.gov account creation).

Recover a forgotten username or password
On the official sign-in page, select Forgot your username or password? The page provides this recovery link, but does not specify the full steps that follow or how long recovery takes. Use the instructions displayed during the live recovery process rather than relying on an assumed reset sequence (Medicare.gov login).
What you can do after signing in
Depending on your coverage and the information available for your account, Medicare.gov lets you view a coverage summary, add prescriptions and pharmacies to compare plans, review processed Original Medicare claims, print an official Medicare card, and check eligible Original Medicare preventive services. You can also review premiums, pay a Medicare bill online, and access or opt into electronic copies of the Medicare & You handbook and Medicare Summary Notices (Medicare account features).
#1 Best Overall
For personal health information, the official Medicare & You 2025 handbook describes Blue Button as a way to download information and says you choose whether to connect and share it with third-party apps. For Medicare Advantage enrollees, Blue Button 2.0 shows only Part D information; check your plan for a similar service covering Part A and Part B (Medicare & You 2025).
