How to Protect Yourself From Medicare Scams
1) Don’t Talk to Strangers What Mom told you as a kid was good advice. Many of our clients get overwhelmed with unsolicited cold calls from telemarketers trying to change their Medicare plan.
What telemarketers say sounds great, because they only tell you the good parts. But once you’re on their plan, you have to live with the things they didn’t tell you. Keep yourself safe by not talking to them. 2) Social Security and Medicare Will Never Call You If someone says they are calling from Social Security or Medicare, hang up. It’s not true. Social Security and Medicare will never call you unless you personally scheduled a call time with them. If you didn’t schedule it, hang up. These callers tell our clients they want to “verify your Medicare information,” or conduct a “Medicare Interview” to make sure you receive all the benefits available. Then our clients find out their current Medicare plan has been cancelled, and the new plan they were changed to has different copays, doctors, and benefits. Keep yourself safe by not talking to them. 3) Don’t Give Your Information to the Internet When you give your name and phone number to the Internet or Facebook, they immediately sell it to as many agents as they can.
Then all those agents call you nonstop for days. Keep yourself safe by not giving your information.
