Does GetHuman work with Medicare?

GetHuman does not work with Medicare's customer support operations, directly or in any other way. GetHuman has no partnership or relation to Medicare at all. GetHuman works with customers everywhere to compile the best tips and tools for reaching call centers faster and solving common customer problems effectively. Much of the information on this website comes from customers who struggled to find the best contact information or solve a problem and shared their story. The information on this website is edited frequently, but for the most accurate and up to date contact information, it may be useful to check Medicare's own website for new or more up to date information about calling or messaging their call center.
