Did you know that Medicare fraudsters are more cunning than ever? Every step taken to protect medical identity, scammers are quick to adapt with new tricks. With Medicare Summary Notices only sent twice a year, it’s more important than ever to create your secure Medicare.gov account. But beware: criminals are impersonating trusted services like ID.me, CLEAR, and Login.gov using fake websites and phishing emails.

How to protect yourself:
• Only access your account by starting at medicare.gov. Never click a link in an email.
• If an email seems suspicious, don’t click! Pause, verify, and protect yourself.
• If you suspect your Medicare number has been compromised, report it to SMP at smpresource.org.

We’re highlighting this scam as part of SMP’s Medicare Fraud Prevention Week; stay vigilant and spread the word!
