Someone wants my Medicare number for a new card or free equipment. Is that real?

1. Do not give the caller your Medicare number or other personal information.
2. In the US, verify concerns through Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE. Discuss any proposed equipment or test with your own clinician.
3. Review Medicare claims for services you did not receive. Report exposed numbers and suspicious claims to Medicare.

Someone bills for unfamiliar services or pressures you to accept equipment your clinician did not order.
