How to Create a My Medicare Account
Step #1 - Create your Medicare.gov Account
Creating a My Medicare account at Medicare.gov only takes a few minutes. Watch our video for guidance. Here’s what you’ll need to create the account:
Access to the internet with either a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone
Your Medicare # from your red, white, and blue Medicare card
Your Part A (hospital) start date from your Medicare card
Your email address
After you create the account, move on to Step #2 below.

Note: If you don’t want to create an account, you can complete Steps #2 and #3 without logging in to Medicare.gov. However, you’ll have to re-enter your medications every time you do the analysis. If you have an account, it saves your medication list.
How To Update Your Medications On Medicare.gov
Step #2 - Add your medications & pharmacies
It’s very easy to add your medications and pharmacies in your Medicare.gov account. This video shows you how.
Then you’ll be prepared for Step #3, which you can start working on in October 2026.

This last video will help you confirm whether your existing plan is suitable for 2027, or if changing plans is beneficial.
DON’T START THIS ANALYSIS UNTIL AT LEAST OCTOBER 15TH
IMPORTANT NOTES:
You can begin performing the review on Medicare.gov for the 2027 plan year as early as October 1st, 2026.
BUT we recommend you wait until about mid-October to verify this, as the 2027 plan information doesn’t fully populate until around October 15th.
If appropriate, you can change your Part D (PDP) plan between October 15th and December 7th on medicare.gov. The new Part D plan will begin January 1st, 2027. And your old Part D plan will AUTOMATICALLY cancel at the end of the year.
