We get this question a lot here at The Medigap Market. Your medicare number will always consist of you or your spouses social security number with a letter at the end indicating any number of different statuses.
If you have a letter T (Temporary) in your medicare number it means that you are not currently drawing social security payments. If and when you do begin drawing social security payments the T will be replaced by a letter A indicating you are the primary beneficiary drawing benefits under your social security number.
In case you didn't already know, if you are not drawing social security your medicare part B premium will be billed to you quarterly and if you are drawing social security your Part B premium will be deducted automatically from your check every month.
