Health Insurance Card Home Care Path LLC

The Social Security Administration maintains in Baltimore Maryland the records of all persons entitled to health insurance. After entitlement is established each beneficiary is issued a health insurance card by the Social Security Administration for use in obtaining hospital insurance benefits, medical insurance benefits, or both. The health insurance claim number on the card is essential for providers seeking reimbursement. The provider submits the claim for services delivered, the Social Security Administration uses the number to locate the persons record and document the claim. Most health insurance numbers are nine digit numbers with letter suffixes, like 000-00-000A. Now the Social Security Administration contracts with large health insurance administrators (Blue Cross Blue Shield) to maintain documentation of each transaction between the person and a Medicare certified provider of service. Seniors will be asked by social services to show there health insurance card with hospital admissions.
