To protect yourself, protect your Medicare number. Don\u2019t share it with anyone who contacts you out of the blue. Be wary of offers for free medical equipment or services that you are told Medicare will cover. The only equipment or services Medicare will cover are those that are prescribed by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review your Medicare statements regularly and report anything suspicious to your medical provider. If your concern persists, contact Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
