Your Medicare card is more valuable than it looks - and worth protecting.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Your Medicare number is unique to you and should be treated like a Social Security number
- Medicare will never call you unsolicited asking for your Medicare number
- If you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from Medicare, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE directly
- Never share your Medicare number with anyone who contacts you out of the blue
- Keep your card in a safe place - you don't need to carry it daily
Scams targeting Medicare beneficiaries happen year-round, not just during enrollment season. Staying alert is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself.
