SCAM ALERTS - take time to educate yourself

•  Verify the identity of the caller or sender before sharing any personal information.
• Do not share your Social Security number, insurance details, or banking information unless you are certain of the recipient's legitimacy.

We have received reports of scams involving DNA swab tests, fraudulent prescriptions and medical services. Scammers may offer discounted medications or fake medical procedures, often requesting payment upfront. 

If you receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurer and do not recognize the supplier or service, alert your health plan immediately.

You may not be able to tell right away if an incoming call is spoofed. Be extremely careful about responding to any request for personal identifying information.

• Don't answer calls from unknown numbers. If you answer such a call, hang up immediately.
• If you answer the phone and the caller asks you to hit a button to stop getting the calls, you should just hang up. Scammers often use this trick to identify potential targets.
