Start 2026 with Digital Confidence | Webinar

Dear Members:

Scammers are extra busy this time of year. They may pretend to be from Medicare or an insurance company to try to steal your personal information — or even enroll you in a plan without your knowledge. 

Remember, legitimate agents and brokers who represent Medicare plans need your permission before contacting you. If you get an unsolicited call, just hang up. Uninvited emails or texts? You can ignore those, too.

Crush Fraud

If you suspect Medicare fraud, report it immediately to Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE or visit Medicare.gov/fraud

And as always, never give your Medicare Number, Social Security number, or financial information to anyone you don’t know.

Medicare.gov/plan-compare is your official source to find the type of coverage that fits you best during Medicare Open Enrollment. 

Sincerely, 
The Medicare Team
