⚠️ PLEASE STOP GIVING OUT YOUR MEDICARE ID NUMBER! ⚠️
I need to warn you because this is happening more than ever—and it’s hurting people who didn’t mean to do anything wrong.
In the last three months alone, several of my clients have had their Medicare plans changed WITHOUT their permission because they:
Called the insurance company directly with a question, or
Answered a call from a random call center, or
Gave their Medicare ID number to someone who “just needed to verify information.”
❗ The moment you give out your Medicare ID number, they can switch your plan—and they DO NOT care what happens to you.
And here’s the worst part:
Clients were lied to.
Their plans were changed behind their backs.
Medicare won’t let them file a grievance because “you gave your number out.”
I can’t undo it until the next enrollment period.
If I ever did something like that, I would be written up, investigated, and could lose my license. But call centers don’t care—because they don’t work for you.
✅ Please protect yourself:
Do NOT give your Medicare ID number to:
Your plan’s customer service line
Call centers or telemarketers
Anyone calling to “verify information”
Anyone offering a “better plan,” “free benefits,” or “updates”
✅ Who CAN you share it with?
Only me—your licensed agent who represents YOU and reviews your benefits EVERY YEAR.
I work hard to keep you in the right plan, with the right doctors, medications, and benefits. But if you give your number to strangers and they change your plan, I can’t fix it until the next enrollment—sometimes months later.
Please hear me on this:
STOP giving your Medicare ID number to anyone except me.
Those people don’t care about you—I do.
If you’re ever unsure, CALL ME FIRST.
I’d rather answer a quick question than try to fix a mess later.
Thank you for trusting me,
Betty Jo
