    The suffixes on a Medicare number are codes that tell Medicare under whose Social Security number you are being given benefits,and your relationship to that person. It is called the Beneficiary Identification Code (BIC).

    A Social Security number followed by A tells Medicare that the person filing is the retired or disabled worker who paid into the system and is drawing on his/her own Medicare benefits. B signifies the wife (over age 65) of the primary Social Security number.
