🚨 Every year, scammers target Medicare beneficiaries with phone calls, emails, and even door-to-door visits. They may claim to be from Medicare or an insurance company and try to get your personal information.

Watch out for:
• Unsolicited calls about “new” or replacement Medicare cards
• Offers for free genetic testing or health screenings
• Promises of rebates or switching you to a “better” plan
• Bills for services or equipment you never received

Here’s how to protect yourself:
✅ Never share your Medicare number or banking details with someone who contacts you unexpectedly
✅ Be skeptical of anything that sounds too good to be true
✅ Check your Medicare Summary Notices and Explanation of Benefits regularly
✅ Report anything suspicious to 1-800-MEDICARE or contact your local Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) for help.

Fraud doesn’t just affect you — it increases healthcare costs for everyone. Staying informed is the best defense.

Senior Medicare Patrol Senior Medicare Patrols (SMPs) empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse.
