🚨 Medicare Beneficiaries: Please Check Your Medicare Claims!
Today I was helping a Medicare client who was unexpectedly declined for a Medicare Supplement policy.
After reviewing his Medicare claims history, we discovered thousands of dollars in medical equipment claims for urinary catheters that he never ordered, never received, and has never needed.
Unfortunately, this isn’t something many people think to check.
Fraudulent Medicare claims can:
❌ Affect your Medicare record
❌ Lead to identity theft
❌ Cause problems when applying for insurance
❌ Cost taxpayers billions of dollars
Here’s what you should do:
✅ Log into your Medicare.gov account or review your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs).
✅ Look for claims for services or equipment you didn’t receive.
✅ If you find anything suspicious, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) immediately to report it.
This experience was a reminder that reviewing your Medicare claims is just as important as reviewing your bank statement.
If you’re not sure how to access your Medicare claims or have questions about what you’re seeing, I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.
