Check the status of a claim

To check the status of

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)

or

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)

claims:

Log into (or create) your secure Medicare account. You’ll usually be able to see a claim within 24 hours after Medicare processes it.
Check your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) . The MSN is a notice that people with Original Medicare get in the mail every 3 months. It shows:
- All your Part A and Part B-covered services or supplies billed to Medicare during a 3-month period
- What Medicare paid
- The maximum amount you may owe the provider

Learn more about the MSN, and view a sample.

Use Medicare's Blue Button by logging into your Medicare account to download and save your Part A and Part B claims information. Learn more about Medicare’s Blue Button.

Note

Did you know you can get your MSNs electronically (eMSNs)? If you choose eMSNs, you’ll get an email with a link to your MSN for that month. You won't have to wait 3 months for a paper copy in the mail. Find out how to get eMSNs. If you need it, you can also get your MSN in an accessible format like large print or Braille.

To check the status of

Medicare Drug Plan (Part D)

,

Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C)

or other

Medicare Health Plan

claims:

Check your Explanation of Benefits (EOB). Your Medicare drug plan will mail you an EOB each month you fill a prescription, visit a health care provider or file a claim. This notice gives you a summary of your claims and costs. Learn more about the EOB.
