All major Medicare carriers · Verified for 2026
Medicare carrier customer service phone numbers.
Every major Medicare carrier's direct phone number for member services, prescription claims, prior authorization, fraud reporting, and provider lookup. Always check the back of your member ID card first — it routes directly to your specific plan. The numbers below are the public main lines.
Pro tip. The number printed on the back of your member ID card always works best — it routes you to your plan, not the carrier's national queue. Use the numbers below only when you don't have your card handy or you're a prospective member.
