COVID-19 Warning to Seniors from Medicare

Scammers may use COVID-19 as an opportunity to steal one's identity and commit Medicare fraud. In some cases, they might tell a Medicare recipient that they will send a Coronavirus test, masks, and/or other items in exchange for one's Medicare number or personal information. Be wary of unsolicited requests for Medicare number or other personal information.

It is important to always guard one's Medicare card like a credit card and check Medicare claims summary forms for errors. One should only give one's Medicare number to participating Medicare pharmacists, primary and specialty care doctors, or people one trusts to work with Medicare on his/her behalf. (Medicare will never call a Medicare recipient to ask for or check his/her Medicare number.)
