Area residents are warned about a Medicare phone scam that is targeting local residents.

The caller claims to be from Medicare and asks the person receiving the call to “confirm” the information on their Medicare card.

Medicare does not call you uninvited and ask you for personal or private information.

You will usually get a written statement in the mail before you get a phone call from a government agency.

Calls requesting health insurance information should not be trusted.

Medicare.gov advises that you take the following precautions: Never give your Medicare card, Medicare Number, Social Security card, or Social Security Number to anyone except your doctor or people you know should have it (like insurers acting on your behalf or people who work with Medicare, like your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). Get the contact information for your local SHIP.

Do NOT accept offers of money or gifts for free medical care.

Don’t allow anyone, except your doctor or other Medicare providers, to review your medical records or recommend services.

Never Join a Medicare health or drug plan over the phone unless YOU called Medicare.

If someone asks you for your information, for money, or threatens to cancel your health benefits if you don’t share your personal details, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit medicare.gov.
