Here are 3 tips to protect yourself from Medicare fraud and scams:
1. If you get a call, text or email asking for your Medicare Number, don't respond. Don't give your Medicare card or Medicare Number to anyone except your doctor or people you know should have it.
2. Check your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs) or claims statements carefully. If you see a charge for a service you didn't get or a product you didn't order, it may be fraud. If you suspect fraud, report it at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
3. Guard your Medicare card like it's a credit card.

🧸
This year's pajama day fundraiser will be held on December 22nd. We hope you will consider making a donation on or before that day in honor of the young patients who turn to Connecticut Children's for hope.
