Be Careful about Medicare Scams

Protect yourself and your loved ones by learning about the most common Medicare scams and how to determine whether communication from your doctor, your insurer or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is legitimate. Scams claiming to be with Medicare are targeting patients and fraudulent activity tends to increase around the Medicare Open Enrollment period. Remember, if you get a phone call and you're even slightly suspicious, do not share your ID number, home address or other personal information. Hang up and call your doctor or Medicare at the number on your card. Report anything suspicious to Medicare. If you suspect fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE.
