What's the best way for seniors to protect themselves from Medicare-related scams?

Answer: Always Contact Your Agent if you have questions. Dont make a move or change without consulting your agent.

Another way for seniors to be protected against Medicare scams is to guard their Medicare number like a credit card, never share personal info with unsolicited callers, hang up on high-pressure tactics for "free" offers, verify all calls using official numbers (like the number in the back of their card), and regularly review Medicare statements for errors, and also reporting anything suspicious to the NC Senior Medicare Patrol or Medicare directly.

Again, contact your agent, they are available to help you free of charge
