A common Open Enrollment scam is a caller saying your Medicare card is being replaced and they need your number to "activate" it. If you're not sure, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) yourself.

Medicare will never call you and ask for your banking information. Protect your Medicare card, number, and other personal information. More information on how to spot and prevent scams: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/reporting-medicare-fraud-and-abuse

is around the corner. To tell if an ad is from Medicare, look for an official government logo, a message from the Department of Health and Human Services, or the official Medicare phone number (1-800-MEDICARE). And remember, go directly to Medicare.gov, your trustworthy source for official information. See less
