The Social Security Administration's (SSA) form CMS-L564 is an employment verification form. The purpose of this form is to apply for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for Medicare that is outside Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) and the General Enrollment Period (GEP). Your IEP is seven months long.

Form CMS-L564 has two sections, A and B. You will fill out section A and the employer will fill out section B. You'll need to provide the name and address of your or your spouse's employer's. Then, you'll list your name and your Social Security Number (SSN).
You can fill out the IEQ online at MyMedicare.gov. You should receive a letter in the mail about three months before your Medicare coverage starts with your MyMedicare.gov username, password, and instructions for filling out the IEQ.
When you retire, you will have a special enrollment period of eight months to sign up for Part B, without penalty. If your employer has fewer than 20 employees, however, you should enroll in Medicare Part B when you are first eligible.
Q: How do I get a copy of my Medicare certification letter that shows the certification number and effective date? A: You can submit a request for a copy of your enrollment certification by sending a request for the information on company letterhead to First Coast's provider enrollment department.
The Medicare carrier will provide the employer with a letter certifying that Medicare is now the primary payer and the effective date Medicare becomes the primary payer. A list of the employer's disabled beneficiaries for whom Medicare is now the primary payer will be attached to the letter.
If you get into this situation, you should contact Social Security at 800-772-1213 (or TTY 800-325-0778). If you can pay off all the premiums owed within 30 days of the termination notice, your Part B coverage will continue.

What is the Medicare Part B Special Enrollment Period (SEP)? The Medicare Part B SEP allows you to delay taking Part B if you have coverage through your own or a spouse's current job. You usually have 8 months from when employment ends to enroll in Part B.

- Step 2: Complete the Medicare Enrollment Application.
- Step 3: Select a Specialty Designation.
There is usually not a need for a Medicare reimbursement. Medicare pays them directly for the allowable charges according to standard reimbursement rates. Then the provider bills you for the difference, and for any services not covered by Medicare or your Medigap plan, if you have one.
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) number is a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Administrative Simplification Standard. The NPI number is a unique identification number for covered health care providers.
