Be alert for scammers trying to steal your Medicare Number →

Medicare covers the vaccine at no cost to you, so if anyone asks you for your Medicare Number to get access to the vaccine, you can bet it’s a scam.

Here’s what to know:

• You can’t pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine. 
• You can’t pay to get access to a vaccine. 
• Don’t share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to the vaccine for a fee.

Scammers may use the COVID-19 public health emergency to take advantage of people while they’re distracted. As always, guard your Medicare card like a credit card, check Medicare claims summary forms for errors. If someone calls asking for your Medicare Number, hang up.
