I just checked 1 800 633 4227 is the correct number, could it be you are is dialing it incorrectly. Maybe try on a phone that shows the digits as you dial them.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

That's the number on my Medicare card. I googled it and it says it's Medicare.

Indeed, that is the Medicare phone number. You can also go to Medicare.gov to ask any questions you may have about your mail. 🙂

@goldensrbest I used One Exchange when I signed up for Medicare this year. I looked around on their website and then called the number. The woman that I spoke with helped me tremendously. I was very confused before I called. Like you, I called Medicare first and they were not helpful.

Oh my! The spooky thing about that is that I had that exact same thing happen when I was calling a company that sells products. I was wanting to cancel an order. Anyway, I called the number and the same exact thing happened. The first time I hung up after a while and tried it again, then I got the 'this number cannot be reached...' deal.

That is really freaky! I almost feel like some entity is taking over phone numbers to try and solicit/spam/whatever people.

The people working for Medicare cannot advise people on coverages and companies, which should you choose, etc. They can only discuss what *Medicare* pays for or doesn't, and how to sign up for *Medicare*, not supplements or anything to do with them.

Exactly.
