Stop Fraud During Open Enrollment

• Medicare will never call or visit and will only send information through the US Postal Service.

• Guard your Medicare number like a credit card.

• Don’t give out your Medicare number except to your doctor or other providers.

• If you receive an unsolicited call from anyone requesting personal information, hang up immediately.

• Know your health care options. Get help from your family, the Medicare website or your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).

Contact the Montana Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) if you need assistance with Medicare billing issues or to report Medicare fraud.

Montana SMP is a statewide program that empowers seniors to prevent healthcare fraud.
