Medicare number validation rules

The Medicare card number comprises:

• Eight digits;
• A check digit (one digit); and
• An issue number (one digit).

Note: the first digit of the Medicare card number should be in the range 2 to 6.

Medicare card number check digit calculation

Step 1. Calculate the sum of: ((digit 1) + (digit 2 * 3) + (digit 3 * 7) + (digit 4 * 9) + (digit 5) + (digit 6 * 3) + (digit 7 * 7) + (digit 8 * 9)) where digit 1 is the highest place value digit of the Medicare card number and digit 8 is the lowest place value digit of the Medicare card number.

Example: for Medicare card number '2123 45670 1', digit 1 is 2 and digit 8 is 7.

Step 2. Divide the calculated sum by 10.

Step 3. The check digit is the remainder.

Example: For Medicare card number 2123 4567.

(2) + (1 * 3) + (2 * 7) + (3 * 9) + (4) + (5 * 3) + (6 * 7) + (7 * 9) = 170

Divide 170 by 10. The remainder is 0.

The check digit for this Medicare number is 0.
