Beware of Scams
It's important to know the signs of a Medicare scam so you can protect yourself. To get your personal information, like your Medicare number, scammers may call, text and email saying things like:

"You need to activate or renew your Medicare card."

"We'd like to send you a free genetic testing kit."

"Medicare has authorized us to send you a free (knee, back or elbow) brace."

"You qualify for a refund on your Medicare costs."

Remember, never give your Medicare card or number to anyone except your doctor or people you know should have it.

Protect Yourself From Fraud

Keep in mind: Caller IDs and email addresses can be faked, so if you're not sure who's calling, call us at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). And remember, Medicare will never contact you unless you've contacted us first.

Sincerely,
Medicare Team
