My Medicare card reads MARY X. XXXXX. my id is MARY FULL MIDDLE NAME LAST NAME. Ijust had surgery today and am out of it. I'm stressing out. Does it matter if my Medicare card has my middle name as initial? Isn't your unique Medicare number what matters? I'm wigging out

(9,037 posts)They would have told you before you had surgery if there is ANY problem with your medicare. And, yes, it's the number that matters the most.
Be at peace, my friend! No need to stress!
