If you help people with Medicare, watch for the CMS “Help Prevent Fraud” campaign on TV and in newspapers in your area. The campaign tells people how they can protect themselves against fraud by checking their billing statements and reporting suspicious charges. People should also report other suspicious activities, like being asked over the phone for their Medicare/Social Security number or banking information. Medicare will NEVER call for this information.

People can report suspicious activities by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

You can help by making sure that people with Medicare have the information they need to identify and report fraud. Check out the CMS fraud prevention toolkit for materials to help.

Thank you in advance for your help!
