What can you do to protect your Medicare card? Some people
\nsuggest making a color copy of your Medicare card and scratching out your
\nSocial Security number, and keep your Medicare card at home in a secure
\nlocation. This action makes ID validation<\/a>
\na little bit harder just in case your Medicare card were to fall in the wrong
\nhands.
<\/p>\n

Another step you can take is to make sure you review your
\ncredit reports and Medicare statements on a regular basis. Medicare.gov<\/a><\/span>\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff
\nrecommends following these steps:
<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Review
    \n your Medicare claims to make sure they are accurate. Check them
    \n early the sooner you see and report errors, the sooner we can stop
    \n fraud. <\/li>\n
  2. Learn
    \n how to protect your personal information. <\/li>\n
  3. Be
    \n on the lookout for suspicious activity. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
