Why the "phone number 2021" answer changed

People often search for a D-SNP phone number with a year in it, because the number came from an old letter. Plans can change names, phone lines, and even companies from one year to the next. New York's own chart of integrated plans for dual eligible New Yorkers is updated each year on the Department of Health's website. Always use the number on your current card or this year's plan mail.

Watch out for callers who say they are "Medicare"

Federal rules say Medicare Advantage plans and agents may not make unsolicited calls to you. They can call only if you asked them to. If someone calls out of the blue and says you must switch plans, or asks for your Medicare number, hang up. Call the number on your card or 1-800-MEDICARE yourself.

En español: número de teléfono de un plan D-SNP

No existe un solo número de teléfono para los planes D-SNP. El número de servicios para miembros de su plan está en la parte de atrás de su tarjeta del plan. Si no tiene la tarjeta, llame a Medicare al 1-800-633-4227 (1-800-MEDICARE), las 24 horas, los 7 días de la semana, excepto algunos días feriados federales.

Common mistakes

  • Calling a number from an old letter or an ad instead of the one on your current card.
  • Calling your Medicaid office about Medicare plan benefits. Your D-SNP or 1-800-MEDICARE handles those.
  • Giving your Medicare number to someone who called you.
  • Switching plans over the phone before checking that your doctors and drugs are covered.
