Medicare fraud, involving stolen numbers and unlawful billing, rises, endangering seniors' health records and taxpayer funds.
Medicare fraud, involving criminals stealing Medicare numbers and billing unlawfully for medical services, is on the rise and affects older Americans, endangering their health records and wasting billions from taxpayer funds. To protect themselves, seniors are advised to guard their Medicare cards, only share information with trusted healthcare providers, and check their claims statements for accuracy. They should also be cautious of hospice scams offering free services in exchange for Medicare numbers, and report any suspected fraud to 1-800-MEDICARE.
