With Medicare being a multi-billion dollar plan, there are scammers out there who are taking advantage of and abusing the system by tricking those of you who are on Medicare. That\u2019s why the AARP Fraud Watch Network is taking a stand and warning all Medicare patients to watch out for this new scam.<\/a><\/p>\n

The most recent scam affecting Medicare beneficiaries relates to “free” medical equipment.<\/a> Scammers who are disguising themselves as Medicare representatives are making unsolicited calls to people under the guise of Medicare and offering them free medical devices such as back braces.<\/p>\n

These scammers are extremely pushy, imploring people to agree to receive the equipment even if they don\u2019t want or need it, all because it\u2019s free. However, to process the benefit, the scammer will ask the caller for their Medicare number, giving them access to all the private medical information that the caller has on record.<\/p>\n

For starters, giving out your Medicare number is extremely dangerous. Not only does it allow scammers access to all your medical information, it also can cause Medicare to pay for fraudulent claims or even allow someone to impersonate you to get free healthcare.<\/a> It could also put incorrect information on your medical records, which could be detrimental to your health.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you do end up receiving any equipment from these scammers, the equipment will likely be super low-quality and not useful to you.<\/p>\n
