It's important to know the signs of a Medicare scam so you can protect yourself. To get your personal information, like your Medicare number, scammers may call, text and email saying things like: "You need to activate or renew your Medicare card." "We'd like to send you a free genetic testing kit." "Medicare has authorized us to send you a free (knee, back or elbow) brace." "You qualify for a refund on your Medicare costs." Remember, never give your Medicare card or number to anyone except your doctor or people you know should have it.
