🚨CMS Alert: A new Medicare fraud scheme is impersonating CMS via phishing faxes to obtain medical records. Key takeaway: CMS does NOT initiate audits by requesting records via fax. Do not respond to suspicious faxes. Protect your information.

If you think you received a fraudulent or questionable request, work with your Medical Review Contractor to confirm if it’s real. (https://hubs.la/Q03vJd7-0)
