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.
