Protect yourself from fraud
|
Scammers
may use COVID-19 as an opportunity to steal your identity and commit Medicare
fraud. In some cases, they might tell you they'll send you a Coronavirus
test, masks, or other items in exchange for your Medicare number or personal
information. Be wary of unsolicited requests for your Medicare number or
other personal information.
It's
important to always guard your Medicare card like a credit card and check
your Medicare claims summary forms for errors. Only give your Medicare number
to participating Medicare pharmacists, primary and specialty care doctors or
people you trust to work with Medicare on your behalf. Remember, Medicare
will never call you to ask for or check your Medicare number.
