Proposals have been put forward to replace the current paper
Medicare cards, which display beneficiaries Social Security
numbers, with electronically readable cards, and to issue
electronically readable cards to providers as well. Electronically
readable cards include cards with magnetic stripes and bar codes
and smart cards that can process data. Proponents of such cards
suggest that their use would bring a number of benefits to the
program and Medicare providers, including reducing fraud through
the authentication of beneficiary and provider identity at the
point of care, furthering electronic health information exchange,
and improving provider record keeping and reimbursement processes.
This book evaluates the different functions and features of
electronically readable cards; examines the potential benefits and
limitations associated with the use of electronically readable
cards in Medicare; examines the steps CMS and Medicare providers
would need to take to implement and use electronically readable
cards; and describes the lessons learned from the implementation
and use of electronically readable cards in other countries.
