Ways to avoid health care fraud
If you suspect fraud, call the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s hotline at 1-800-835-6422.
Here are some tips to keep yourself safe:
1. Only visit your personal doctor, hospital or clinic for medical help. Only they should make referrals for special equipment, services or medicine.
2. Never show anyone your medical or prescription records without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
3. If someone calls and tries to threaten or pressure you into something – simply hang up the phone.
4. If someone comes to your door and says they are from Medicare or some other health care company shut the door…It’s shrewd to be rude!
