Social Work Notes!Karlene Bognanni�Medicare beneficiaries will be sent new Medicare cards in the near future to their current address on file. Contact Social Security to update your address, if you have made a change to it. The cards will be mailed out automatically and are free. If anyone calls and says you need to pay for it, that’s a scam. Do not give any personal information to anyone claiming to be from Medicare. That also is a scam. Guard your new card even though the new number will not be your social security number. It can be used by someone else as identity theft to pay medical bills. Please contact me if you have any questions at 781!396!6010.�
