Have you received any calls from “Medicare” asking you to verify your Medicare number for the new card being sent your way?
This may be a scam.
Medicare fraud and abuse can happen anywhere. It’s important that you protect your Medicare number and other personal information, and check your Medicare claims regularly so you don’t become a victim.
To help spot and prevent Medicare fraud and abuse:
● Unsolicited calls from someone claiming to be from Medicare.
● Anyone needing your information so that they can send you an updated Medicare card.
● Anyone claiming that your card is expiring and that you will be charged a fine if you do not get a new one.
● Anyone stating that Medicare is issuing new cards and you need to verify your number.
Remember to ALWAYS verify whom you ae speaking to and If you suspect fraud call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or online.
Stay Safe!
