What is it?
It's not a bill. It’s a notice that people with Original Medicare get in the mail every 3 months for their Medicare Part A and Part B-covered services.
The MSN shows:
- All your services or supplies that providers and suppliers billed to Medicare during the 3-month period
- What Medicare paid
- The maximum amount you may owe the provider
When should I get it?
You’ll get your MSN every 3 months if you get any services or medical supplies during that 3-month period. If you don’t get any services or medical supplies during that 3-month period you won’t get an MSN for that particular 3-month period.
Did you know you can get your MSNs electronically (eMSNs)? If you choose eMSNs, you’ll get an email with a link to your MSN for that month. You won't have to wait 3 months for a paper copy in the mail. Find out how to get eMSNs.
