   Your medicare number followed by a letter code is referred to as a claim number. It tells the type of Medicare benefits for which one qualifies.
   
   The letter T stands for "Uninsured - Entitled to HIB (Part A) under deemed or renal provisions; or Fully insured who have elected entitlement only to HIB (Part A)". The acronym HIB stands for Health Insurance Benefits and Part A is the hospitalization and skilled care part of Medicare.
