If the actual medicare number ends in D or W, this does not mean part D or part W...it means deceased or Widowed. Many women who did not work outside of the home were assigned a medicare number that was the same as their spouse, only it ended it B (the spouse ended in A and it was his social security number plus A). When the spouse died they were issued a new card, and while the numbers remained the same the ending letter changed to D to represent that the spouse (primary card holder) was deceased. In some instances, the woman worked and the husband did not, or he worked a job that did not take out money for medicare. In this case, the husband would have the wifes social security number as his medicare number with a B at the end. When the wife died, the husbands number would then change to W for widowed.

Because you are receiving benefits as a survivor under your deceased spouse.
