The Pennsylvania Department of Aging has announced a new toll-free hotline to report Medicare fraud.
As open enrollment season rolls on, Aging officials wanted to inform the public about suspected fraud being committed to access personal or Medicare information.
Officials advise enrollees to never respond to unsolicited requests for personal information such as their Social Security number, Medicare number, or offers for allegedly “free” benefits. They should instead report such calls, emails, or texts to the new hotline
The number to call if you suspect someone you are speaking with is committing fraud is 877-435-7014. The hotline is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and all services are free and confidential.
