Medicare sent a reminder recently to be aware of scams:
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.
Keep in mind: Caller IDs and email addresses can be faked, so if you're not sure who's calling, call us at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). And remember, Medicare will never contact you unless you've contacted us first.
Ballots will be distributed to local government employees and retirees next week.
