Medicare is reissuing about 1.3 million ID numbers, which means some beneficiaries will receive a new Medicare card in the mail.
In this episode, Amanda explains why this is happening, what it means (and what it doesn’t), and how to protect yourself from scammers trying to take advantage of the situation.
If you receive a call asking for your new Medicare number—hang up and contact Medicare directly to verify.
