How to Protect Yourself

You’ll also need to know how to protect yourself from potential fraudsters. Remember to:

• Guard your Medicare number just like your Social Security card and credit cards

• Share your Medicare number only with trusted healthcare providers

• Review your Medicare statements, watch for services billed that look suspicious, and ask questions if something looks wrong

How to Report Scammers

Reporting Medicare fraud protects you and millions of other people with Medicare and those with disabilities. If you or someone you know has experienced Medicare fraud or suspect an offer you’ve received is a scam, report it as soon as possible.
