New Medicare Cards Seen as Opportunity for Scammers

New Medicare cards soon will be on their way to the over 58 million Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. Unfortunately, scammers have eyed this as opportunity to steal people's identity. Please keep in mind that Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services offi-cials will never call unsolicited (uninvited) to ask for personal information. Scam artists may try to get personal information (like you current Medicare number) by contacting you about your new card. If someone asks you for your information, for money, or threatens to cancel your health benefits if you don’t share your personal information, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE (1/800-633-4227) and report the incident. Those new to Medicare will receive the new card as soon as they sign up. The ID, which has been redesigned to prevent fraud, is still red, white and blue, but instead of a Social Security number, the identifier is an 11-character, randomly assigned combination of numbers and letters that has no connection to an enrollee’s personal information. It will take until April 2019 for all 60 million beneficiaries to get their new identification cards. You can begin using your new card as soon as it arrives, but it has been advise to keep your old card for one year after receiving your new card in the event your healthcare provider has not yet updated their records.
