# What Is Medicare Blue Button 2.0?

Medicare Blue Button lets people with Medicare share available Part A, Part B, and Part D claims with apps they authorize. Flexpa uses Blue Button 2.0 to connect Medicare records. You approve sharing with your Medicare.gov account. Flexpa is not endorsed or certified by CMS or HHS.

How it works: Medicare.gov sign-in -> Sharing approval -> Available Medicare claims. Blue Button shares available Part A, Part B, and Part D claims, not Part C claims.

## How to connect

### Steps

1. Search for Medicare in Flexpa.
2. Sign in with your Medicare.gov account.

## Medicare Advantage is different

Blue Button does not provide Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) claims. It can include Part D claims for Medicare Advantage enrollees. To connect your Medicare Advantage plan through Flexpa, search for the plan by name and check whether your coverage is supported.
