Medicare History
All your health records in one place
🏥 Medicare Connectivity via Blue Button
AbilityHUB supports Medicare data connectivity via the Blue Button® initiative. This feature allows authorized clients and care teams to securely access Medicare claims, benefits, and other health data directly through the app.
Benefits include:
Access to official Medicare records in one place
Improved coordination of care among your care team
Enhanced accuracy in care planning and documentation
Blue Button® is an industry-standard program that allows individuals to safely download or share their Medicare information electronically.
Patients can link their Medicare account to share health coverage data — including patient info, coverage plans, and claims — with their caregiver in the app.
Accessing Medicare Data
Open the AbilityHUB app.
Navigate to “Medicare” or “Health Data” in the menu.
Tap “Connect via Blue Button®”.
You will be redirected to the official Medicare login page.
Authenticate with your Medicare ID and credentials.
Confirm your consent to share the data with AbilityHUB.
Only your authorized care team will have access to the data you approve. AbilityHUB does not store your Medicare login credentials.
