Be suspicious of any offers of free medical equipment for your Medicare Number. Never give your Medicare card or Medicare Number to anyone except people you know should have it, like your doctor. If you suspect fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE or report it at go.medicare.gov/3Wdyl1C.

Just need your Medicare number..." The hand then presses the end call button. Overlay text: Don't be fooled. Guard your card.
