Follow These Important Steps to Protect Yourself From Fraud

* Don’t share your Medicare number or other personal information with anyone who contacts you by telephone, email, or by approaching you in person, unless you’ve given them permission in advance.  Medicare will NEVER contact you for your Medicare number or other personal information.

* Tell your friends and neighbors to guard their Medicare number.

* Don’t ever let anyone borrow or pay to use your Medicare number.

* Review your Medicare Summary Notice to be sure you and Medicare are only being charged for actual services.

* Be wary of salespeople who knock on your door or call you uninvited and try to sell you a product or service.

* Don’t accept items received through the mail that you didn’t order.  You should refuse the delivery and/or return it to the sender.  Keep a record of the sender’s name and the date you returned the items.
