Scammers are using fake Medicare card updates to get your personal information. They may claim your card is expiring or that you need a new plastic or chipped card. Don’t give your Medicare number to an unexpected caller. If you’re unsure about a Medicare card request, verify it before you take action.

The NYS Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) can help: 800-333-4374

Scammers want you to act before you have time to think. They may tell you there’s a problem with your Medicare card or benefits and that you need to provide information right away. Don’t let pressure make the decision for you. Hang up, take your time, and verify the information with a trusted source.
Questions or concerns? Call the NYS Senior Medicare Patrol at 800-333-4374.

Medicare is not laminating Medicare cards. There are reports of a lot of calls about new Medicare cards, laminated cards, or replacement cards being sent. These are not calls from Medicare. These are scam attempts to get your Medicare information. Please report these calls to the NYS Senior Medicare Patrol at 800-333-4374. .

One of the easiest ways to detect Medicare fraud is by reviewing your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB).

A quick review each month can help you spot unfamiliar providers or services before fraud goes unnoticed. If you find something you don't recognize, don't ignore it.

Call the NYS Senior Medicare Patrol at 800-333-4374 for free, confidential assistance.

SMP Scam Warning! If you are mailed a plastic Medicare card, don't "activate" it. Medicare is not sending plastic Medicare cards. This is a scam. If you get this letter, please report it to the SMP.

As a community, we can all participate in Medicare Fraud Prevention Week by looking out for our older neighbors and community members. For example, when you are out in public, be aware of older people purchasing gift cards in large amounts. If you see this, ask questions or mention gift card scams. Many people have helped stop a scam in its tracks by stepping in and asking questions.
To report potential Medicare fraud, contact the NYS Senior Medicare Patrol at 800-333-4374.
