In this episode, Micki Nozaki and Stacey Golden-Lisnock discuss:
 

• Medicare Fraud
• How scammers are gaining access to seniors’ Medicare numbers over the phone
• The federal government estimates that we lose between $60-$90 BILLION per year to fraud waste and abuse, about 10% of what is spent on it.

• Never give your Medicare number out over the phone
• Medicare will NEVER call you on the phone and ask for your number
• Medicare will NEVER try to sell you something on the phone
• Medicare will NEVER show up at your home
