The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a survey for people with Medicare to learn more about things like how people get their health care, the rising cost of health care, and how satisfied people are with their care.

You may be selected to participate in the MCBS. If so, you’ll get a letter explaining that someone from NORC at the University of Chicago will be in touch to set up an interview. NORC is the company that helps Medicare conduct the survey.

If you have questions about mail you get about Medicare, visit https://smpresource.news/MedicareMail or talk to an SMP or SHIP, found at www.smpresource.org or shiphelp.org.

If you have been contacted to participate in the MCBS and would like to verify your selection in this study, please contact NORC toll-free at 1-877-389-3429.

Choosing your Medicare coverage is only part of the decision. Choosing your doctors and other providers matters, too.

Did you know that the rules for seeing doctors, specialists, and hospitals can vary depending on how you receive your Medicare benefits?

💚 With Original Medicare, you can generally see any provider nationwide who accepts Medicare.
💙 With Medicare Advantage, costs are often lowest when using providers in the plan's network, and some plans have referral or network requirements.

Before enrolling in a plan, consider questions like:
• Do I want flexibility to see providers in different locations?
• Are my preferred doctors and hospitals in the plan's network?
• Will I need referrals to see specialists?
• What are my potential out-of-pocket costs if I go outside the network?

Every person's health needs and priorities are different, so it's important to compare your options carefully. Contact your local SHIP for unbiased Medicare counseling, or call 1-800-MEDICARE and visit Medicare.gov to compare plans and check provider participation.
