A man gets a call from someone *claiming* to represent Medicare asking for his Medicare number to send him a replacement card. What’s one thing he SHOULD do—and one thing he SHOULDN’T do—in response to that call?
✅ DO: Hang up the phone immediately and call 1-800-MEDICARE directly if you suspect there is a legitimate issue with your account.
❌ DON'T: Read your Medicare number over the phone. Official Medicare representatives will almost never call you unprompted to ask for your personal information.
