Tips before you call
- Have your Medicare card, any plan or Medigap card, and the letter or bill you're calling about.
- If you're calling for a parent, they may need to give permission first. See helping a parent with Medicare.
- Medicare won't call you to sell plans. If someone calls claiming to be Medicare, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE yourself.
OregonMedicare.org has no phone line. To talk with a licensed insurance agent about plans from the companies they work with, you can request a call from a licensed insurance agent. Our Oregon resources page lists more agencies.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a separate Medicare office for Oregon?
No. Medicare is a federal program run by CMS, so Oregonians call the same 1-800-MEDICARE line as everyone else. Social Security has local offices in Oregon for enrollment.
Who do I call about my Medicare Advantage or Part D plan?
Call the member services number on your plan card first. If the plan doesn't fix the problem, call 1-800-MEDICARE.
Who do I call about a Medigap policy?
Call the insurance company first. For complaints, call the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation's consumer advocates at 1-888-877-4894.
