Unfortunately, identity theft and fraud have become huge concerns for Medicare beneficiaries, with scammers targeting their victims via phone, social media, at events, and even doortodoor. It is crucial to be vigilant and aware of these scams, and to protect your Medicare card and number as you would your other personal identification.

If you suspect someone is misusing your Medicare information, you should immediately call one of the following:

✓ 1800Medicare or 18006334227 (TTY call 18774862048) – Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

✓ 18004478477 – The Fraud Hotline of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of the Inspector General.

What If You Lose Your Medicare Card?
If you misplace your Medicare card, there are two ways to get a new one.

✓ Option 1 – Go to your medicare.gov account and request a new card be issued.
✓ Option 2 – Call Medicare at 8006334227 and request a replacement.

It can take a few weeks for your card to arrive, so be prudent in protecting and caring for your card.
