Scam Alert
We want to make you aware of a scam specifically targeting patients. Callers posing as employees of laboratories, medical equipment vendors, and pharmacies have been telling patients that their Tulsa Bone & Joint provider ordered a lab test, medication, or device for them. The scammers then ask for billing information including the patient’s insurance provider and number.
REMEMBER
• Do NOT provide any personal, financial, or insurance information to unknown callers.
• Your Tulsa Bone & Joint provider will NEVER order a lab test, medication, or device for you without discussing it with you first.
WHAT TO DO
If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and report it to your insurance provider. Patients with Medicare or Medicaid should report suspicious calls by calling 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477).
