Last week someone called and asked if I was interested in a free trial of a topical pain cream. They just needed my Medicare number to verify my coverage. Is this a good idea?

Absolutely not! This is most likely a fraud and an attempt to steal your information! When you receive contact like this out of the blue, it’s almost always a scam artist looking to take advantage of your coverage. Next time this happens, hang up the phone immediately, and report the activity to stopmedicarefraud.gov or call The Department of Health and Human Services’ antifraud hotline at 800-HHS-TIPS.
